Alien Cupcakes

My son had a Buzz Lightyear/Toy Story themed birthday party. I decided that alien cupcakes would be the easiest, cutest and most easily identified.

Ingredients:

1 Cake mix of your choice baked as cupcakes according to package directions

1 Can of white frosting (or make your own white frosting)

Neon green GEL food coloring (found in the baking isle)

Mini Marshmallows cut into thirds width-wise

Black writing /decorating gel (found in the baking isle)

Cupcake liners of your choice-blue or silver would be good.

Green sour belt candy

Cupcake Assembly

Frost cupcakes with green frosting.

Eyes

Cut 1 mini marshmallow into 3 pieces width-wise for each cupcake
Place all 3 marshmallow pieces in a row on the cupcake
Use black writing gel to place a black dot in center of each marshmallow, then draw a black circle below the eyes for a mouth.

EARS

Cut some of the green sour belt candy into small triangles. Place one triangle, point side in, into each side of the cupcake

ANTENNA

Cut a small skinny strip of the candy belt and fold/pinch over one end to form the ball at the top for the antenna. Then lay it flat at the top/edge of the cupcake, pushing the bottom end under the frosting.

And now you have Alien Cupcakes! "The Claaaaaaaaaw"
