Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare strawberry cake batter according to box directions.
2. Remove white paper separators from foil cups and set aside to use as ghost toppers.
3. Pour batter into foil baking cups and bake in 350-degree oven for 17 to 20 minutes, or until you can stick a toothpick into the center and remove it cleanly.
4. Remove cupcakes from oven and let cool completely.
5. In a small bowl, add 7 or more drops of food coloring to icing and mix until desired shade of purple is achieved. Top cupcakes with colored icing.
6. To make ghosts: Fold white paper separators into halves, then quarters. Using black marker, draw the eyes and mouth on pointy end of paper to create a ghost face. Using scissors, trim the bottom edges into a half circle.
7. To assemble cupcakes: Poke a small hole on top right side of cupcake; insert licorice piece. Use black writing icing to write "R.I.P." or another spooky message on a mini marshmallow. Use colored vanilla icing to "glue" a marshmallow to top of licorice. Scatter a few confetti sprinkles on the cupcake. Top with paper ghost.
