Easy Monster Cupcakes for Halloween

These easy Halloween cupcakes are ready in no time and are so easy to make! Here’s how to make these easy monster cupcakes, perfect for a Halloween dessert table.

These cupcakes don’t take long to make, and the decoration is simple but effective. You could change the colours and add different sprinkles to change the monsters up a bit. I just chose one colour for this quick tutorial.

I started with some vanilla cupcakes and coloured up some buttercream using Sugarflair gel colours (this lurid green colour is made using Sugarflair Bitter Lemon and Lime. I just used the end of a butter knife to add some of the colour to the buttercream then mixed it together with a silicon spatula.

Using a grass nozzle and a piping bag I piped the buttercream “fur” all around the top of the cupcake. I then added sprinkles and some candy eyes to finish the monster look. Super easy! The decorating took around 3 minutes per cupcake, so they’re really fast to get finished. There’s no right or wrong way to decorate these cupcakes either – they’re monster cupcakes, so they can look like anything!
