Alien and Ghost Cupcakes

These are easier than they look!

Needed:

Cupcakes

Marshmallows (cut in half to make short cylinders)

Donut Holes

*CANNED* Frosting (but nothing that says "whipped")

Green Food coloring (if you are going to do aliens)

Step one: Put a little frosting onto the cupcake and then a marshmallow. Frost the top of the marshmallow, then place the donut hole. Press it all down so that it is connected. Frost around the marshmallow and donut hole to better "glue" it together. It doesn't have to look pretty, no one will see this part. Repeat for all cupcakes.

Step two: Put the cupcakes in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.

Step three: Put frosting into a 2 cup measuring cup (glass). If you are going to make aliens, dye the frosting green. (I filled the entire cup with frosting, but that isn't needed if you aren't doing a large quantity; however, you do want the frosting deep enough to dip the entire cupcake top into it.) Microwave for 10 seconds. Stir. Keep microwaving and stirring until the frosting is like a Elmer's Glue consistency.

Step four: Take the cupcakes out of the freezer. Dip them (one at a time) into the frosting. Let the frosting "ooze" off them and then quickly flip it over.

Step five: Pipe a face on the cupcakes. I used a decorators bag, but they sale decorators piping tubes at any grocery store that you can use.

Tada! You have an alien or ghost.
