Betty's Easy Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for fan assisted ovens)/Gas Mark 4. Line 2 x 12-hole muffin trays with paper cupcake cases. Make, bake and cool the cake mix as directed for cupcakes on the box.
  2. Using a small palette knife spread the chocolate icing on the top of the cupcakes. Scatter some red or orange and chocolate sprinkles over the top of each cupcake.
  3. Spoon the vanilla icing into a large disposable piping bag and snip off the end. Pipe 2 blobs of icing with peaks on top of each cupcake for ghosts. Use the black writing icing to pipe on eyes and mouths.

Betty's Tips

  • Colour the vanilla icing with orange or green food colouring gel to create neon ghosts!
  • To get the piped ‘ghosts’ to peak, quickly lift the piping bag away at a slight angle after piping each blob.
