Make Zombie Eye Cupcakes

By Cindy Littlefield

Cindy will show you how to make zombie eye cupcakes with easy to follow step by step instructions. She was inspired by the Zombies in the film Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 to make them.

You’ll need:

* Batch of frosted cupcakes
* Several pieces of brown taffy (such as Tootsie Roll Midgees)
* Rolling pin
* Wax paper
* Kitchen scissors or knife
* Gummy fruit ring candy (such as Life Savers Gummies)
* Small chocolate candy with brown shell (such as M&M Minis)
* Chocolate sprinkles

Instructions:

1. Roll flat the brown taffy between pieces of wax paper (if the candy is too stiff, you can microwave it for up to 5 seconds to soften it). Then cut the flattened candy into thin strips (about 3/8- by 3-inches).

2. Cut some gummy fruit ring candy in half so that you end up with two thin rings to use as irises. Turn the halves sticky-side-up and cover each of the holes with a pupil (small chocolate candy with brown shell).

3. Working on wax paper, assemble an eye for each cupcake by arranging two of the brown taffy strips into overlapping semicircles, as shown. Then slip one of the iris/pupils part way under the upper strip, leaving a gap between the iris and the lower strip.

4. Transfer each eye to a cupcake top, and gently press down on the pupil to push the iris halfway into the frosting. For the finishing touch, add chocolate sprinkle eyelashes.

After you make zombie eye cupcakes you may need some special party supplies. Go here for your plates, napkins, stickers or any other item you need to complete your party theme. They’re all on this page, Pirates Of The Caribbean Party so, take a look.
