Adorable Zombie Cupcakes!

I know Halloween tradition tends to lean towards the creepy and scary, but I can't help appreciating the adorable as well! This instructable will show you how to make your very own chibi zombie scene with cupcakes! Don't be afraid to continue on, you won't regret it!

Step 1: Your Supplies!

For my Zombie Cupcake set up, I made my own cupcake wrappers out of card stock you can easily find in any craft store. Using pre-made store bought cupcake wrappers works just as well, and will probably make this project easier! Feel free to use which ever option suits you best and just skip over my steps to make cupcake wrappers if necessary. I probably would have opted for the pre-made if I didn't have so much card stock laying around from scrap booking.


You will need:
A Cupcake Stand (Small:Holds 12 Cupcakes or Large:Holds 24 Cupcakes!)
12-24 Unfrosted Cupcakes of your Choice
1 16oz Can of Vanilla/White Frosting per 12 Cupcakes or if you prefer to use your own frosting recipe, I used butter cream for mine
A Sharpie or Black Marker
A Fork
A Frosting Tip and 2 Frosting Bags
Green Food Coloring
Green Sprinkles
Rainbow Sprinkles
12-24 Green Cupcake Wrappers and one Brown Cupcake Wrapper
OR
6-12 Sheets of 11"x8.5" Green Cardstock and 1 Sheet of 11"x8.5" Brown Cardstock
Scissors

Cool! Zombies are awesome!

These should be in the Halloween Contest!

I love it! I think I'll either use dull pink frosting or have gummy "brains" stuck on top.

I thought about having some peek out from the green frosting, especially like where the bite marks are. I'd love to see pictures if you do make em though! Sounds like a good addition! :D

[ploogle]

I'm thinking something like this.

[Stephanefalies]

That does look pretty neat! I think I would frost them differently, to better imitate the look of a brain too. Although it really does look good the way it is now in the picture.
Though you suddenly made me want to make up some gruesome more realistic Walking Dead inspired cupcakes...Hmmm!

Sooo adorable. And it looks so tasty! I especially love the touch of having a Hero on top!

[Stephanefalies]

Thank you! :D
I love my little hero with his manly Bruce Campbell chin and stubble. He's so silly.

Great work, very cool, BUT...

... can we agree to not use 'adorable' and 'zombie' in the same sentence? It's reminiscent of my mom telling me my batman costume was cute on halloween (cute doesn't strike fear into the hearts of criminals, mom)

Nonetheless, I'd eat plenty of 'em... especially since they're chocolate, yum!

[Stephanefalies]

I can agree with you on that! It did feel unnatural using those words in the same sentence. So never again accept in the case of these! Because it just doesn't feel right not using it, since they aren't ugly rotting bloody corpses.
