Not sure how to make tombstone cupcakes?

Here is a step-to-step guide to help you prepare the most authentic and close to real tombstone cupcake;
Ingredients used for preparing tombstone shaped cupcakes are cupcakes either chocolate or vanilla flavour. Cupcakes are readily available in most markets. It is best to buy fresh cupcakes before the preparation for the fresh taste.

Chocolate sprinkle: This is needed to sprinkle on the cupcake to give the feeling of a dust filled graveyard.
Wafers or Cookies: These are placed firmly and carefully in the cupcakes as tombstones with engravings RIP on them. The cookies are in the shape of short bread cookies, that is, rectangular tomb-like shaped cookies.
Icing sugar: This is used for engravings on the tombstones of cookies letters ‘RIP’.

The first step in making tombstone cupcakes is to cut the cookies and engrave RIP with icing sugar. Next, frost the cupcake with icing sugar. The frosting should be done liberally so that the cookies stick properly on the cupcake. You may now sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on the cupcake to give the effect of dust in a graveyard. Several such cupcakes maybe served in a tray covered with sand to match the Halloween theme.

You may now move on to decide on other aspects of your Halloween celebrations like Halloween costumes, Halloween decorations and so on.

Happy Halloween!
