Spooky Scary Skeleton Cupcake

PREPARATION

2. Add 90 grams powdered sugar and whisk again until creamy.
3. Then ad 55 grams all purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 20 grams cocoa powder. Whisk until well combined.
4. Add 80 milliliters milk and whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
5. Pour the batter into cupcake moulds placed on a baking tray. Insert small rolled aluminium foil strips along the sides of each mould to shape the cupcakes like skeletons (see video).

8. Frost the cooled cupcakes, then place them upside down on butter paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
9. Once set, use black chocolate ganache to make skeleton eyes, nose, and lips. Add a little red glaze under the eyes to create a spooky, “bloody” effect. (see video).
10. Serve and enjoy your spooky skeleton cupcakes!
