The beauty of adorning spooky cupcakes is that its flavor does not really matter. You can create witchy cupcakes with any of your very favorite cookie or cake recipes. Use a mix if you like and you still get great results.

Add more burst to ordinary cupcakes with Halloween decorations that are not only yummy to eat, but are also fun to prepare. How about decorating gooey eyes to your Halloween-inspired cupcakes? There are countless possibilities that you can do with it.

To create gooey eyes for your Halloween themed cupcakes, here’s what you’ll need:

Frosting

Empty gelatin capsule

Gummy candy

Sprinkles

Powdered sugar

Prepare dust cupcakes with powdered sugar. Then draw the eyes and mouth using your choice of frosting. Make sure to frost it first to keep the gooey eyes from sticking. Cut into two equal parts the empty gelatin capsules. You can get these capsules at your local health and natural food stores or online.

To make the eyeballs: Just fill the capsules with one sprinkle or whatever idea that fits your fancy. Round sprinkles are best to get this look. Cut the gummy candy into half, arranging each on your powdered cupcake.

You can also use tapioca pearls as substitute. Now, stick the capsules onto the gummy matter. Your gooey eyes should stick onto the frosting. Decorate cupcakes with hats too. To prepare, draw a circle in the middle of a cupcake. Then cut a part of a cupcake into a deep, cone shape held at an angle.

Then, complete the circle by rotating your cupcake and taking out its center. Do the same for all other cupcakes. Scoop frosting onto the middle of each cupcake, filling the hole. Then top using a wafer cookie with a dot of frosting in its center. To make hat, reverse the cone-shaped part of your cupcake. Form eyes and nose with round sprinkles. Use grated coconut or cereal flakes to make hair as well.

You can adjust the amount of your ingredients depending on how many spooky cupcakes that you want to scarily decorate. You can even substitute other ingredients as well. The possibilities are endless!
