These creepy, yet cute, Monster Madness Cupcakes are perfect for your upcoming Halloween party. With wild hair, big eyes, crooked teeth and brightly colored frosting, kids and adults will love them.
I always love a foolproof recipe. Use your favorite cupcake and frosting recipe to make these creepy cakes. I recommend using vanilla cake and vanilla frosting since you’ll have to add color to the frosting. Plus the candy on top adds a lot of flavor! Since there isn’t set directions to decorating these, the possibilities are endless. There’s no right or wrong way… so pile on the candy! The more the better in my opinion!
I suggest buying more candy than you think you’ll need… I ate half of it while I was making these! It looked too good to pass up!
