🕒 Prep Time: 20 min | Cook Time: 0 min | Total Time: 30 min
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs white buttercream fondant (store-bought works great)
- Cornstarch (for rolling)
- 12 cupcakes with chocolate frosting (any flavor base)
- 12 small lollipops (like DumDums)
- 1 small tube black decorating gel
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Roll the Fondant
Lightly dust your surface and rolling pin with cornstarch. Roll out half the fondant to about 1/16″ thick. Use a 4-inch round cutter (or paring knife) to make circles. Re-roll scraps to get 12 total. - Frost the Cupcakes
Spread a thick, smooth layer of chocolate frosting on each cupcake—this will be the “ground” for your ghost 👻. - Shape the Ghosts
Drape each fondant circle over a lollipop. Gently shape it to form the flowing ghost look. Let the fondant hang naturally for a spooky, wavy effect! - Assemble the Cupcakes
Stick each ghost-topped lollipop upright into the center of a cupcake. Press down so the lollipop stands straight and stable. - Add the Spooky Eyes
Use the black decorating gel to dot on two little eyes. Be gentle—no ghost smudges allowed! 👀
👻 Pro Tips:
- Fondant Too Sticky? Use more cornstarch to keep it smooth and easy to handle.
- Customize the Faces: Add a little mouth or a surprised “O” face for personality!
- Make Ahead: Assemble the cupcakes up to 1 day before your party. Store in a cool, dry place.
