Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Bake chocolate cake cupcakes as directed on the box and ensure they cool completely before frosting.
  • Pipe chocolate frosting onto each cupcake using a large star tip to create an even swirl.
  • Carefully cut 24 Oreos in half with a serrated knife. Insert one Oreo half on each side of the frosting swirl to form bat wings.
  • Place a pair of candy decor eyes into the top center of the frosting swirl, between the Oreo wings, securing them gently.

Notes

Ensure cupcakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting. For best results, use a sturdy chocolate frosting that holds its shape well.
