Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
In order to make a ghost cupcake then you will need to first - in a large bowl mix your cake mix with the necessary ingredients like eggs, oil, water, and mix
Then, you'll line your cupcakes with white cupcake wrappers
Rip off strips of foil and tear those into small squares - about 2x2 inches
Roll the foil squares into balls of foil
Spoon or pour cupcake batter into cupcake wrappers until they are about 2/3 full
Place 4 foil balls around each filled wrapper in the shape of a cross
Bake the cupcakes for about 15 minutes
Let the cupcakes completely cool
Spoon frosting into the piping bag
Pipe frosting into a cross shape onto each cupcake
Spread and shape the frosting around the cupcake into a ghost figure
For the tail, pull the frosting past the cupcake and down a little bit into a tip
Decorate the face of the ghost with the black decorating gel
