These cupcakes would have been lovely, if only vermin hadn’t found them first.
Hands on time: Total time: 1 hour Serves: Makes 12 cupcakes
Ingredients:
-
Store-bought orange cupcake frosting (or Basic Buttercream Frosting tinted orange)
Plastic vermin (rats and roaches are available at Cake Art)
Instructions:
To generously frost cupcakes: Hold the frosting can directly above the cupcake. Squeeze the frosting onto the cake in a spiral pattern, starting at the outside and working toward the center. When you reach the center, lift the frosting tip as you release pressure, creating a decorative peak. (You can also use a decorating bag fitted with a large star tip, such as Wilton’s No. 1M.)
Wash plastic vermin in dish detergent and water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Insert the toys into the frosting to make it look as if they are crawling over the cupcakes. Cut some toys in half and put the heads in one side and the tails in the other, so it looks like the critters are crawling through the frosting.
