Ideally, you should make the black buttercream a day in advance.

Step 1: Make the black buttercream

Make 200g of the FunCakes Mix for Buttercream with 200ml of water and finish with 250g of soft unsalted cream butter, as indicated on the package. Flavour the buttercream with the FunCakes Flavour Paste Tonka Bean and colour black with the FunCakes Food Colour Gel Black. Set aside overnight to allow the colour to soak into the buttercream.

Step 2: Colour the skulls

Colour the skulls with FunCakes' edible markers. Do this at your own discretion and make them as scary as you'd like!

Step 3: Make the cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection 160°C) and divide the baking cups between the muffin baking pan. Make 500g of the FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes, as indicated on the package. Divide the batter among the baking cups and bake the cupcakes for about 19-23 minutes until light brown.. After baking let them cool on the countertop. Bake again if necessary if you have any batter left over.

Step 4: Decorate the cupcakes

Mix the black buttercream well with a mixer and put it in a piping bag with nozzle #1M. Pipe nice tufts onto the cupcakes and leave to set in the fridge for an hour.

Step 5: Make the spashes on the cupcakes

Melt the FunCakes Choco Drips according to instructions on the packaging in the microwave and drizzle each colour over the cupcakes. Finally, decorate the cupcakes with a coloured skull.

Step 6: Enjoy these delicious Halloween Splash Cupcakes or hand out as treats!
