Makes 12 Cupcakes

Ingredients For the Cupcakes:

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
2/3 cup superfine sugar
1 extra-large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted twice
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sour cream
4 TBSP of milk

Ingredients For the Decoration:

Green fondant or white fondant with green food coloring to be added

Note: fondant is available at some grocery stores or at a bakery store

Tubes of ready-coloured frosting or icing pens
Jelly Snakes (red gummy worms could be used as well)
Silver balls or small balls of silver fondant

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F.

Step 2: Line the bottom of two 12 cup muffin tins with paper liners.

Step 3: Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and the sugar together until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until fully incorporated and set aside.

Step 5: In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.

Step 6: Add the dry ingredients in three parts with the wet ingredients and alternate in the sour cream in thirds.

Step 7: Add the milk and mix until all ingredients are fully blended together.

Step 8: Scoop or poor the batter into the muffic tins until 3/4 full.

Step 9: Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.

Step 10: Cool in the muffin tins for a short time and then transfer to a cooling wire rack.

To Decorate:

Step 11: Remove the cupcake from the paper casing and cut small hollows for the eye sockets and the mouth.

Step 12: Knead the fondant and roll out using rolling pin to a maximum thickness of 1/4 thick.

Step 13: Cut out a large enough piece of fondant to wrap the entire cupcake so it is completely sealed. The fondant will hold in place but be careful not to press too hard and tear the fondant.

Step 14: Use your hands to sculpt the skull shape.

Step 15: Cut a Jelly Snake in half and place it so it is coming out of the skull's mouth.

Step 16: Add the features using the tubes of ready-coloured frosting. And Enjoy!!!
