The first thing I did was make the eyes. I made them different sizes using white fondant and placing them on toothpicks. Next I melted some red candy melts, the ones you can get at Michael’s, and dipped half the eye in it. I let them all dry on a sheet of parchment paper while I made a batch of cupcakes and some buttercream. Once the cupcakes were completely cool I frosted them with buttercream that I colored purple and orange. I used a piping bag with a #133 tip to get the look I was going for.

| Tip #133 |
Once they were all frosted I stuck the eyes in, some got 2 eyes, some got 3. I then completed the eyes by painting them with some black food coloring. I used both gumdrops and peach rings to make the mouths, I think the peach ring looked really cute! The last thing I did was cut little triangles out of white fondant to give the little monsters teeth. There are so many ways you can decorate these, it’s just a really fun project 🙂
