Can you believe the perky ears on our bat cupcakes is really chewing gum? You will get the best results when cutting the fudge-stripe cookies if you use a gentle sawing motion.
Ingredients:
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
blue paste food coloring
cupcakes of your choice
gum balls
sticks winterfresh gum
fudge-striped cookies
1 can (16 ounces) chocolate frosting
pastry tip—round tip # 3
candy corn
Directions:
1. Tint vanilla frosting bright blue; frost cupcakes.
2. Add gum ball eyes. Using a clean scissors or small sharp knife, cut sticks of gum into eyebrow shapes. Pinch tops to curve if desired; insert above eyes.
3. For bat wings, with a small serrated knife, cut cookies in half. Add scalloped edges if desired. Insert two cookie halves into each cupcake.
4. Using chocolate frosting and #3 tip, pipe pupils on eyes. For fangs, cut the white part from the candy corn. (Save removed orange sections for another use.) Add two white fangs under each mouth; press down gently. Yield: varies.
