Skeleton Graveyard Cupcakes

This fun Halloween cupcake has three different components-the dirt, the skeleton hand and the gravestone.

I was inspired by a product I saw on Amazon-a plastic skeleton hand shaped pick and I thought wow- I can make that hand edible and use something tasty for the gravestone.

Very nice! I wanted to use a squeeze bottle too, but couldn't find one.
