Monster Cupcakes

You know how I feel about dessert tables
and I couldn't very well have a Monster Party without Monster Cupcakes!

I baked off 3 different types of cupcakes
and whipped up a bunch of buttercream frosting,
colored it with Wilton food coloring
and covered them in frosting.

My friend Kelly immediately started in on the decorating.

Before she came over I collected a bunch of candy as well as Wilton's candy eyes that my mom got from Michaels and I got from Target.

We had some pictures for inspiration as a jumping off point.

The monsters were bright and colorful and super fun to decorate.

I think the kids (and the adults) loved them.

We used things like marshmallows, sour strips, black frosting,
dum dums, m&ms, peach rings, chewy lifesavers, jelly fruit slices
and good 'n fruity candies for all the faces.

Some scissors, frosting and a lot of creativity and we had a whole mess of monsters!

I think these are most of them... every single one of them different of course.
