Mummy Cupcakes
The trick to making these mummy eyes pop is to match the baking cups up with the dark background.
What you need:
Reynolds® Baking Cups (Black Foil)
1 package (18.25 ounces) yellow cake mix
1 container (16 oz.) ready-to-spread white frosting
Black food coloring
Rolled white fondant
48 yellow M&M's® Minis® Chocolate candies
Instructions:
PREHEAT oven to 350°F.
PLACE Reynolds Baking Cups in muffin pans; set aside.
PREPARE cake mix following package directions for 24 cupcakes. Spoon batter into baking cups.
BAKE following package directions (17to 23 minutes). Cool.
TINT frosting black. Reserve a small amount of black frosting for eyeballs. Spread remaining frosting onto cupcakes.
MAKE Mummy
- Roll out fondant and cut into 1/4-inch strips. You will need about 12 per cupcake.
- Starting left center, place one strip at a 15 degree angle to the right. Place a second strip at a 10 degree angle to the left.
- Leaving the space between those two strips empty (showing black frosting), overlap fondant strips like wrapped bandages on top and bottom of cupcake.
- Place 2 yellow candies on exposed black frosting for eyes.
- Use a toothpick to make 2 black dots of frosting in center of yellow candies.
