Cupcakes baked and cooled, any flavor
White Buttercream Frosting such as American Buttercream, Swiss Meringue Buttercream, etc.
Edible Eyes such as melted chocolate, candy eye sprinkles, etc.

Place the frosting a pipe bag fitting with a large tip. You can also use a ziplock bag with a tip cut off.
Pipe a large amount of frosting onto a cupcake.
Add eyes and that’s it!

Melt white chocolate or candy melts according to package instructions. While melted, use a spoon or offset spatula to spread the melted chocolate in the shape of a ghost on a piece of parchment or wax paper, making sure to taper one end into a slightly sharper edge (so you can stick it into a cupcake).
If adding sprinkles or candy eyes, add while the chocolate is still melted. Otherwise, all the chocolate to dry and add gel or melted chocolate as eyes.
Spread frosting on a cupcake in an even layer. Then dip the frosted part of the cupcake in the crushed cookies so they cover the entire surface.
Place the dried chocolate ghost into the top of the cupcake..

Add some frosting onto a cupcake and add a large marshmallow. You can also use a lollipop pressed into the cupcake.
Then, roll out some fondant and cut into large circles. Place the fondant circles over the marshmallow and press until it gets to a shape you like.
Add on your eyes using melted chocolate or dark frosting.

You can use your favorite cupcake and frosting recipe for these cupcakes, and store bought cupcakes work great too!
Be sure to keep any leftover fondant wrapped in plastic or an airtight container so it doesn't dry out.
