Start with a cupcake iced with green-tinted frosting.

I gave my “Frankie” white hair, but feel free to give yours chocolate hair, red hair or even licorice hair.

I painted Frankie’s hair with black spray frosting. This allowed me to add more of a dark tint to his face as well.

Since the monster is supposed to be made up of excess “parts,” I used two different color candies (Skittles or M&Ms are good) for eyes with a dot of purple frosting for the pupil. I built him up a nose with additional green frosting, gave him a terrible looking mouth and used mini pretzel rods as either bolts or his own special version of the arrow through the head prank.

Have fun!

Here are some pictures that will explain step-by-step how to make a ghost. This is super easy!

Frost a cupcake with white icing.

Place a jumbo marshmallow in the center of the frosted cupcake.

Roll out a circle of white chocolate or buttercream fondant. Use your cupcake pan or a flattened cupcake liner as a guide.

Drape the circle of fondant over the marshmallow and cupcake.

Add chocolate drop eyes, and you’ve got a ghost your kids will love!

Happy baking!
