Transform your Halloween baking with our eerie Skull Cupcakes! No need for specialized cupcake molds – we’ve got an insanely easy kitchen hack!💡
💀 We used tin foil balls surrounding our cupcake liners to sculpt this skull-shaped treat, making it a perfect project for little kitchen helpers. Plus, it’s a super fun way to infuse some spooky creativity into your holiday treats.
Line a muffin tin with silicone liners.
After making your cupcake batter, pour mixture into your liners being careful not to fill it too high. Add rolled up tin-foil balls next to your muffin liner on both sides to make a skull shape.
Bake your cupcakes and let them cool. Use a knife to cut off any of the edges that went beyond the cupcake liners.
Using a piping pen, spread on your vanilla frosting. We then flipped the cupcake over and flattened the frosting on a piece of plastic wrap. You can also use an offset spatula to spread out the frosting evenly.
With a toothpick, add a dab of milk chocolate for the eyes, nose, and mouth. Enjoy!
