These Spooktacular ghost cupcakes are made using “rolled fondant”, a couple of pieces of candy and a ton of fun for Halloween!

These ghost cupcakes are just a blast to create. The body underneath the rolled fondant ghost sheet is made from just two pieces of candy. A tootsie roll and a candy corn pumpkin head.

The cute little fondant tennis shoes give an extra added bit of flair tho the ghost.

The cupcake itself can be any flavor you like. Of course am a huge fan of chocolate cupcakes so I that was my flavor of choice for the ghost cupcakes.

Who doesn’t like chocolate cupcakes right?

The top of the cupcake base is created by a thin layer of buttercream icing and then topped off with some orange  colored rolled fondant. These are sure to make your Halloween party a real thriller for everyone! Totally delicious.

How To Create The Fondant Ghost Cupcakes:

• Candy Corn Pumpkin Heads
• Large Tootsie Rolls
• Buttercream Icing
• Black Food Color
• Orange Food Color
• Number 12 cake decorating tip

Instructions and Video on How to Make The Ghosts and Tennis Shoes With Rolled Fondant:

Start out by placing a candy corn pumpkin head on top of a large tootsie roll. You will want to press the pumpkin down a bit to make the two candies stick together. Make sure you keep them upright. You don’t want them learning.

Roll out a small circle of white rolled fondant approximately 3 inches in circumference. Use just a bit of shortening to grease down your surface.

Using a # 12 cake decorating tip, cut out the ghost eyes and mouth. You will make the cut outs just below the center of the rolled out fondant as shown:

Your ghost sheet should look like the picture here.

Gently lift the rolled fondant ghost sheet from your work surface and drape it over the candy body mold.

Position the eyes over the orange pumpkin head and the mouth over the tootsie roll as shown here. Work the edges of the fondant ghost sheet so you get a flowing look to it.

Cover your pre baked cupcake first with a thin layer of buttercream icing and lay the orange color fondant circle over the top gently working the edges.

Next, cut out a small hole the size of the base of the tootsie roll so you can insert your fondant ghost.

Insert the fondant ghost into the cut out section of the cupcake. This will keep your ghost in place so it won’t fall off the cupcake:)

Creating The Fondant Tennis Shoes:.

Take a very small piece of black colored rolled fondant and roll into a small log shape.

Using a toothpick or any tool you like create a bend in the fondant for the dimension of the tennis shoe.

Using a very small piece of white rolled fondant, create the white side trim for the tennis shoes.

You will do this by rolling out a thin log shape and then flatten in down.

Gently wrap the the string of rolled fondant around the base of the fondant tennis shoe. Using a wooden skewer, poke a hole in the top of the tennis shoe so you can insert the ghost leg. You will create the ghost leg with a small piece of white fondant.

Insert the fondant ghost leg into the fondant tennis shoe.

Finish off the tennis shoe with a white piece of fondant in the crease of the shoe. if you like you can make tiny shoe laces for it.

Insert the shoe with the leg on the cupcake, positioning the leg under the ghost sheet.

Repeat with other shoe and leg to finish your cool Ghost Cupcake!
