Monster Cupcakes for Halloween

For Halloween, I made the 6.5 hour drive back to Rochester, my second home. My mom and I made these monster cupcakes for me to take with to share with my friends. They're simple, fun, and a blast to make.

I wasn't feeling too ambitious, so I did the classic box mix for the cake and buttercream for the frosting. Decorations used for the faces included licorice sticks, candy coated licorice, marshmallows, gummy fruit slices, and candy eyes.

We got pretty creative

Maybe too creative
