These mummy cupcakes start with chocolate cake baked in black liners. After frosting, white fondant strips are layered on to resemble bandages, then candy eyes give them life. It's a fun, easy Halloween treat.

Directions

Bake the chocolate cake batter in black liners according to the box directions, then let them cool completely.

Spread a thin coat of vanilla frosting over each cooled cupcake. Roll the white fondant until it's roughly fettuccine-thick, then slice it into 1/4-inch wide ribbons using a pizza cutter or knife.

Drape the fondant strips across the frosted cupcake, overlapping them to create a wrapped mummy look.

Once you like the bandage effect, snip off any extra fondant with a knife or kitchen scissors. Gently press the edges of the fondant into the frosting to seal.

Finish by sticking on candy eyes for the mummy's face.
