Fondant Ghost Cupcakes

Ingredients List

Instructions

Make Domino® Favorite Chocolate Cupcakes and Domino® Buttercream Frosting according to individual recipe directions. When cupcakes are cooled, frost with the buttercream frosting, making sure to place an extra dollop of icing in center of each cupcake. Refrigerate frosted cupcakes for at least 30 minutes.

While cupcakes are chilling, make Domino® Easy Fondant. To make a ghost, form a 1-inch ball of fondant. Place a pretzel stick into the center of the ball, making sure fondant ball is secure. Insert the fondant covered pretzel stick into a cupcake; this is the “skeleton” of your ghost.

On a flat surface dusted with confectioners’ sugar, roll remaining fondant to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out 4-inch circles. Gently drape a circle over each cupcake “head”, taking care not to pull the fondant. If it tears, remove fondant from the cupcake, and press it back together.

For the eyes and mouth of your ghosts, blend cocoa powder into remaining fondant to make it chocolate, adding a few drops of black gel food coloring to make it black.

Makes 24 ghostly cupcakes.
