How to Make Halloween Eyeball Cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 1 Backmischung Red Velvet Cake von Teasty Me
• Butter
• 4 Eier
• 1 Fertigmischung Creme Fantasique von Teasty Me
• 100 ml Milch
• 200 g Fondant weiß
• 50 g Fondant bunt nach Wahl
• 20 g Fondant schwarz
• Lebensmittelsifte
• Piping Gel

Directions:

1. Baking the Muffins: Start by using the Red Velvet Cake mix from Tasty Me. You only need two more ingredients: eggs and butter. Mix them together until smooth. At first, the batter may be a bit soft, but after about five minutes of mixing, it will thicken up. Pour the completed batter into muffin tins, ensuring that you adjust the baking time accordingly. After baking, allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack. They may not rise too much, but they should be nice and fluffy.

2. Preparing the Topping: For the topping, use the Creme Fantasique mix from Tasty Me. Mix it with a bit of milk until it reaches a buttercream-like consistency. You can place this cream into a piping bag. Pipe the cream onto the cooled muffins. While it may be a bit tough at first due to its firmness, persistence will yield beautiful results.

3. Making the Eyeballs: To create the eyeballs, take the white fondant and knead it with some CMC. Form several balls to represent eyeballs. Use a ball tool to create a dent in each ball for detail.

4. Adding Color: Press colored fondant into the cavity to represent the iris, smoothing it down so it blends nicely. Then, add small balls of black fondant to create the pupils. Use food markers to draw lines on the iris for added detail.

5. Final Touches: Let the eyeballs dry for about 24 hours. Once dried, apply piping gel with a brush, careful to avoid smearing the colors underneath. Add red food coloring to the remaining piping gel for a ‘bloody’ effect, which you can paint onto the eyeballs to mimic veins.

6. Assembling the Cupcakes: Create a small dent in the center of the frosting on each cupcake to place the eyeball. Use the leftover piping gel to create a bloody effect beneath the eyeball. Place the eyeball on top and gently press it down. Your creepy Halloween Eyeball Cupcakes are now ready to be served!

How to Serve Halloween Eyeball Cupcakes

Serve these cupcakes on a festive platter or a Halloween-themed cake stand. Decorate the table with spooky decorations to enhance the Halloween atmosphere. They are best served fresh but can also be stored for later enjoyment.

How to Store Halloween Eyeball Cupcakes

Store uneaten cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you need to keep them longer, place them in the fridge for about a week. Make sure not to stack them too closely to avoid squishing the eyeballs.

Tips to Make Halloween Eyeball Cupcakes

• Make sure to allow the cupcakes to cool completely before adding frosting to prevent melting.
• Knead the fondant well for a smooth finish.
• Experiment with different colors for the irises, like green or blue, to create a diverse set of eyeballs.

Variation

You can try different cake flavors, like chocolate or vanilla, in place of the red velvet. Adjust the colors of the fondant to match other themes, ensuring the cupcakes remain festive and fun.

FAQs

1. Can I use homemade cake instead of the mix?
Yes, you can use your favorite homemade red velvet recipe instead of the mix.

2. Can I make these cupcakes ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake the cupcakes a day or two in advance and make the eyeballs the day before serving.

3. What other decorations can I use?
You can use candy eyes, gummy worms, or fake spider decorations to make the cupcakes extra spooky!
