Halloween Mummy Cupcakes

In honor of Halloween, I made these mummy cupcakes to bring in to work today.  They’re just chocolate cupcakes with a frosted mummy “face”.

What are you looking at?

I tried my hand at using a frosting tip for the first time, but the seemingly intuitive ziploc baggie method was a complete disaster.  Luckily, I found this YouTube tutorial for How to Make an Icing Bag using parchment paper and it really helped!

Ziplog Pastry Bag. #FAIL

As you can see, some of my mummy cupcakes look like they got TP’d instead.

Mummy or TP?

Since we’re on the topic of sweets, I had to post this video a coworker of mine sent to me last summer. Kirstin Lepore, you are a genius!  Happy Halloween, everyone!
