Ghost Cupcakes

Made with lollipops and store-bought fondant, these ghost cupcakes are fun to make with kids.

Servings: 12 cupcakes
Total Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds white buttercream fondant
  • Cornstarch, for rolling the fondant
  • 12 chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting
  • 12 small lollipops, such as DumDums
  • 1 small tube black decorating gel

Instructions

  1. Dust your work surface and rolling pin lightly with cornstarch. Roll half of the fondant out into a large circle about 1/16-inch thick. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter or paring knife, cut out circles. Gather any scraps into a ball; roll and cut again. Roll out the remaining fondant and repeat until you have 12 circles.
  2. Place each fondant circle over a lollipop and form into the shape of a ghost. Place each ghost lollipop into the center of a cupcake, pushing all the way down. Using the black decorating gel, squeeze out little eyes.
