Line cupcake tin with paper cupcake cases.<\/p>\n<p>Add all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and mix on low speed for about 20 seconds before you add your softened butter. Let it mix until it reaches a crumbly, sand like texture.<\/p>\n<p>Add eggs and milk into a jug and whisk together well. Add milk\/egg mixture to dry ingredients in a slow steady stream while mixer is on low. <\/p>\n<p>Make sure you scrape down the bowl each time you add an ingredient to make sure everything\u2019s mixing well. Add the black food dye and mix on low speed scrape down the bowl to make sure that all the batter is being colored evenly. <\/p>\n<p>Scoop into cupcake pan, filling about 3\/4 way. Bake for 20 min. To check if they&#8217;re done simply pierce the cupcake with a skewer and if they come out clean they&#8217;re done. Once they&#8217;re done, let them cool down completely.<\/p>\n<p>While cupcakes are baking and cooling, gently melt your dark and white chocolate (separately) in a microwave safe bowl for 20 seconds at a time stirring each time until smooth, and put into piping bags (or sandwich zip lock bags). Snip off a little bit of the end. To make skulls start off by piping a blob of white chocolate. <\/p>\n<p>Then pipe three small lines at the bottom for the teeth. Let it set a little before you pipe dark chocolate eyes on the front.<\/p>\n<p>To pipe bones simply pipe a small \u2018v\u2019 at one end and another at the other end connected by a thin line as demonstrated in the video.<\/p>\n<p>Place the bones and skulls into the fridge to set if it\u2019s a warm day.<\/p>\n<p>While the cupcakes are baking and cooling, add black food dye and a little bit of extra cocoa powder to buttercream frosting and mix in well. You want to get a dark charcoal color. Add buttercream frosting to a piping nag fitted with a plan round tip and pipe in a swirl motion as demonstrated in the video.<\/p>\n<p>Gently stick the skulls on the front of the frosting.<br \/>\n___<\/p>\n<p>Follow us!
