Ingredients
- white paper cupcake liners
- 1 recipe batter for white cupcakes
- 1 recipe vanilla butter cream Frosting
- Red food coloring
- Pastry bag and small round tip
- Small black jelly beans
- Round candies with hole in the middle
Preparation
Line cupcake tins with the liners.
Fill the tins two-thirds full with the batter and bake the cupcakes
as directed in the recipe.
Frost the cupcakes, reserving some of the frosting.
Pile the frosting up a little in the center to make a sort of domed shape,
more like an eyeball.
To make the surface smooth, dip a butter or frosting/palette knife in hot water
and smooth it over the top of the frosting.
Tint the remaining frosting bright red with the food coloring.
Using the pastry bag, pipe the red frosting on the tops of the cupcake
in vein patterns.
Make the veins radiate from the center of the cupcake to make the bloodshot
quality more realistic.
Cut the jelly beans in half.
Place a jelly bean half into the circle of the round candy.
Now you have and iris and a pupil.
Place this in the center of a cupcake.
Continue with the rest of the eyeballs.
