Ghoulish Monster Halloween Cupcakes for Halloween party

I love these because no matter your skill level, anyone can make these. I just whipped up a quick & easy box of cake mix to the package directions. I happened to already have the frosting on hand from another cake I had made. But you could just as easily use the canned variety if you didn’t want to make some. Then you just need the candy eyes & the gel glaze – links for those below.

I mean, just look at how cute they are. I love the expressions you can give them with the right placement of the eyes. You really can’t beat how simple these cupcakes are & yet I know they will bring lots of raving fans at any party you bring them to. Just think how fun these would be at a class Halloween party.
