HALLOWEEN BLOODSHOT EYEBALL CUPCAKES – Creepy but Cute!
Looking for the perfect dessert for Halloween? This is it!! Out of all my taste test kitchens, these EYEBALL CUPCAKES were simple to make and disappeared within minutes. I purchased the gummy eyeballs from Michael’s but if you are looking to make a lot of cupcakes, your best bet is to order them online. Oriental Trading Company has a a good selection of gummy eyeballs at a fair price.
If you are feeling super crafty, you can create your own gummy eyeballs. I found a great video which goes through the process step by step. Visit Cooking With Karma, she makes it look so easy!
Last but not least, I tried to simplify this recipe as much as possible. If you follow my version, you should be done with this recipe in 5-10 minutes. The biggest time saver is that I purchased ready-made cupcakes from Sam’s. I purchased 30 cupcakes for $15 which comes to $.50 per cupcake. But if you LOVE to bake, making your own cupcakes and icing is just fine. I also tried this idea on cupcakes with yellow frosting, it looked even MORE creepy! No Halloween party is complete without these easy cupcakes, so go for it and make your own!
INGREDIENTS:
12-24 Ready-made Cupcakes
12-24 Gummy candy eyes
1 tube of ready-made icing (purchased at Micheal’s or Jo-Ann’s)
PREPARATION
Remove the gummy eyeballs from their packaging and place them on top of each iced cupcake. Take your tube of icing and create a bloodshot look. Get creative, it’s hard to mess up on this project. You are done!
