Monster Cupcakes
These Monster Cupcakes are so cute and easy to make it’s spooky! Cake mix and an easy buttercream come together to create these creepy treats.
Hey guys!! I am here to bring you another easy spooktacular dessert for Halloween! These Monster Cupcakes are a quick way to bring a little Halloween cheer to your house!
I was in the store the other day and I saw a cookie mix for monster cookies which were brightly colored cookies with candy eyes on them and they were sooo cute! My boys love cupcakes though so I knew I had to get home and recreate those cookies in cupcake form!
You are more than welcome to make these cupcakes from scratch, I however picked up a devil’s food cake mix and called it a day! I could have gone with a regular chocolate cake mix but come on it’s Halloween that calls for Devil’s Food lol!
Now I do make my buttercream from scratch, it’s light, fluffy, and perfect for these cupcakes!

Instructions
After whipping up the frosting I separated it into 4 bowls and dyed each one a bright color. Then I transferred each color frosting into a ziploc bag and cut a little corner off.
I piped the frosting high onto each cupcake and then decorated with some candy eyes. That was it! Everyone loved these cupcakes! Not only do they taste amazing but they are such a quick dessert to make for a Halloween party at school or before trick or treating or just to spook up dinner one night.
I love desserts like this that the kids can help with. They can pipe on the icing since it doesn’t have to be perfect and they will love putting all the eyes on!
So take a few minutes and whip up these cupcakes for a creepy treat!!
Don’t forget to stop by Dana’s and make her Spooky Spider Cupcakes!
These are super cute! My boys love Monsters Inc. and I tried to make Monster Cupcakes this summer but they weren’t nearly as cute as yours! I will definitely have to give your technique a try. Thanks so much for sharing with us at the Bewitchin’ Block Party last week; I am featuring you this week! I hope you join us again in the morning :)
Do you use salted or unsalted butter in the recipe ?
Unsalted butter would be best, but salted can work in a pinch :)
I made these cupcakes for a party last night, and that buttercream is to die for! So delicious and so incredibly easy to make. I have always been so intimidated by homemade icing, but it was really no big deal. Thank you for sharing this!
How many does this recipe make?
About 24 :) Happy Halloween!
Parrish, these were so fun to make. My son and I made them last weekend -Joe
i will try this on Halloween 2019
Excited to try these!
How do you get your pastel colors. Pictured above? Do they sell food coloring that is pastel? I’m out of the loop on that
I used neon food coloring that came in a 4 pack in the baking aisle of Walmart, should be easy to find!
I will try this on Halloween 2021
This is so fun! Going to make them with the kids this weekend
