Halloween Ghost Cupcakes
These ghost cupcakes are such cuties and so easy to make. They are perfect for Halloween. Kids and adults will love them just as much.
I used vanilla cupcakes, with vanilla buttercream, but you can use whatever flavor you like. We have a white, black and gold color palette for these, with little pops of red. For details, I added red bows on 3 ghosts and black masks on 3 of them, a reflection of the times we are living in! Even though they are Ghosts they are not scary or spooky, just plain adorable! They will put a smile on anybody’s face. How nice is that?!

Instructions

- Cut out 6, 2 ½inch circles and 6, 4inch circles
- Cover the Lollipops with the small circles, and place them in the center of the cupcakes
- Gently lay the bigger circle on top of the Lollipop and it will naturally fall into a ghost shape
- Let this dry for 30 min
- With the edible marker draw in the eyes and mouth
- Brush some Pink Petal dust on to the cheeks of 3 of the ghosts
- Take some red fondant. Dust the Bow mold with some Corn starch so it does not stick
- Push the fondant into the mold and gently take out
- With a little dab of water, place it on 3 ghost’s heads
- To make the masks, Roll out the Black Fondant, cut out a little rectangle. Score some horizontal lines on it with the back of a knife
- Dab some water on the ends of the rectangle and place it on the ghost under the eyes
- With the edible marker you can draw in some straps on both sides of the mask
Notes
If the ghosts are floating to high after you put the big circle on them, you can trim the lollipop
