Mini monsters

These mini monster muffins are bone-chillingly cute and make the perfect treat for Halloween

  1. Divide vanilla frosting between 2 bowls and stir a little orange food colouring gel into one and violet food colouring gel into the other. 
  2. Spread or pipe the orange buttercream onto one half of the spooky mini muffins, then repeat to cover the other half with the purple buttercream. Reserve ¼ tsp of each colour to attach the eyes. 
  3. Make eyes on stalks by using a little buttercream to stick edible eyes to cocktail sticks and pushing them into the cakes, or stick eyes directly into the icing. Will keep in a sealed container in a cool place for 3-4 days.
