Ingredients
Scale
Cupcakes
- 1 batch your favorite cupcake recipe (about 12 cupcakes)
Frosting and Decoration
- 1 cup vanilla buttercream
- Royal icing eyes (enough for 12 cupcakes)
Instructions
- Frost the Cupcakes: Using a knife or straight spatula, frost each cupcake evenly, covering all visible cupcake tops with a smooth layer of vanilla buttercream.
- Add the Eyes: Place the royal icing eyes onto the frosted cupcakes, spacing them appropriately to create the mummy’s eyes.
- Pipe the Mummy Wrappings: Fit a piping bag with a no. 44 basketweave decorating tip, fill it with vanilla buttercream, and pipe flat ribbons crisscrossing over the cupcake to simulate mummy wrappings. Continue layering the ribbons until the desired mummy look is achieved.
- Serve: Allow the frosting to set slightly before serving. Enjoy your spooky Halloween Mummy Cupcakes!
Notes
- You can use store-bought cupcakes and frosting to save time.
- If royal icing eyes are not available, use small candy eyes or create eyes with white and black icing.
- The no. 44 basketweave tip creates flat ribbons ideal for mummy wrappings; if you don’t have this tip, a small petal tip can be a good substitute.
- For extra effect, use black food coloring to outline eyes or add cracks on the mummy wrappings.
- Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
