Zombie Cupcakes

I had to make Halloween cupcakes a while ago, and of course I chose to go with zombies! They were tons of fun to make and almost as delicious as brains! I made chocolate cupcakes to start with. I decorated them by icing them with chocolate icing, then rolling just the sides through a plate green sugar sprinkles, leaving a square of plain icing in the middle.

I then rolled the center of the cupcake through a plate of crushed chocolate graham crackers, making the cupcake look like a freshly dug grave. I then used oval shaped cookies, which I decorated with white icing, as tomb stones. For the zombies, I used vanilla and chocolate sticks for the arms and necks (pocky or pretzels would work too), and malt balls (malt balls come in several colors) with zombie faces drawn on them for the heads. I used about ΒΌ a stick of gum bent like a shovel attached to a vanilla stick with icing for shovels, which were laid sporadically around the graveyard. (After making the shovels, freeze the for a few minutes to make sure they stay glued together.) My favorite touch was using flower sprinkles around some of the gravestones.
