Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
Fondant Ghosts
- 12 oz. white fondant
- Black food color marker
Frosting
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 T. milk
- red gel food coloring
- yellow gel food coloring
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cupcake pan with yellow cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until incorporated.
- Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full with the cake batter.
- Place into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until done. Insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean or with moist crumbs, the cupcakes are done.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely. Work on making the ghost toppers and frosting while waiting.
Ghost Toppers
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper and roll your white fondant into 24 1-inch balls. Continue to roll the fondant until it's completely smooth.
- To start forming your “ghost” shape, flatten the ball out to become an oval and then pinch the end slightly. Then bend the pinched end up to form a curve.
- With scissors or a sharp knife, snip a little portion of the fondant on each side to form arms. Using a black food coloring marker or black frosting, draw two oval eyes.
Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, add in butter, sugar, milk and 2 drops of red gel food coloring and 2 drops of yellow. Using a hand mixer, beat on low and gradually increase to high.
- Add the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a straight tip or coupler. Add a swirl of frosting to the top of each cupcake.
- Place your fondant ghosts on top and serve.
