By Deborah Geering

For the AJC

It’s easy to see why these cupcakes have appeal: They’re easy and creepy.

Hands on time:   Total time: 1 hour  Serves: Makes 12

    Basic Buttercream Frosting (see separate recipe entry)
    Candy eyes (or black frosting and decorator’s writing tip)
    Red decorating gel

Instructions:

Frost the cupcakes with white icing. Smooth the surface.
Place a candy eye in the center (or draw one with black frosting)
Use red gel frosting to drizzle squiggly lines from the center of the cake to the edges, giving the top of the cupcake a bloodshot look.
