Two weekends ago, we celebrated our younger son's birthday. Family and friends got together for food, presents, and cake for our sweet Landon. I decided on a monster theme after seeing a link for monster cupcakes on Pinterest. These cupcakes turned out too darn cute and they were so easy to make!
First, I made homemade funfetti cupcakes, then topped them with buttercream frosting. I used the Wilton #233 tip for a "furry" look.
To make the body parts, I drew them with permanent marker on a piece of white paper. Then I placed wax paper overtop of the drawings and traced using Wilton's candy melts. (do not try to dye the candy melts or you will get a gloppy mess! you have to buy the already colored melts!) To trace the images, I simply put the melted candy in a small ziploc and clipped a small hole in the bottom corner of the bag (but you certainly could use an icing bag and tip). I did many different parts including, eyes, fangs, teeth, mouths, horns, tentacles, arms,wings, noses, ears, and even moustaches!
Didn't everyone do a great job?
For the favor, since we had way more adults than children, I decided to do a homemade monster cookie mix! I simply layered cookie ingredients together and tied the jar with a ribbon. I also included instructions for baking the cookies.
Landon had such a wonderful time at his party!
