Hello! Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies! Today I am dressed as Claudine from
Monster High, because I got so many requests for something Monster High!
So that is what we’re doing today, we’re going to make Monster High Cupcakes.
The first thing that we’re gonna do is make the designs to go on the top.
And that’s because these are going to have to sit out for 24 hours, so you want
to make these the day before your event or whatever you want to do.
I printed, online, the little Monster High skull logos, and then I just
put them all on this piece of paper. There’s also a really cool website that
you can go, it’s a blog, a baking site, it’s called Mighty Delighty, I’ll put
a link below so you can go check it out. But she has pre-made templates that are
really similar to these Monster High ones, they’re not exact, they have, uh, circles
around them, but, they’re pretty good!
Then you put them down here, and you’re gonna take a piece of wax paper, and put
it on top. And then you’re gonna tape it into place.
Then you’re gonna use cookie icing, or it’s also known as royal icing, so you
can either make it from scratch, or buy the little cookie icings at the store.
And, I just put all the cookie icing into this plastic bag, because it has a very
fine, uh, fine point, that’s what you want, a really small point.
And you’re first gonna trace all of the black. So, this takes a little bit of time
so just be patient, take your time.
The reason that you want to use royal icing is because it dries really, really hard,
and that’s what you want. You pick it up and it’s kind of like a thin chip or cookie.
And we’ll use these different colors, pink, blue and white, to fill in around
the black lining.
Da-dew! Here are the ones that I made yesterday, they’re all done, and I would
suggest letting them dry for 24 hours, so make them the day before you want to bake.
And you’ll also want to leave them in a very dry area, don’t put them in the
freezer, that, that’s not good for royal icing. Um, you can either put them in the
oven with just the oven light on, or in a room with a lot of AC, a lot of
air conditioning. So, yeah! That will dry them out.
Once they’re done you’re going to add the eyelashes with gourmet food pens,
these are edible, whoa!
I didn't know that they made these, these are so cool!
So you take the little black 1, ba-dew!
And we’re just gonna draw on little eyelashes.
When you’re drawing on top of the icing, just be really, really gentle.
Once these are all done, we’re just gonna set them aside and we’re gonna make the
last topping. I got these, they’re candy trays, of vampire lips… Meeeeee!
For Draculaura fang kiss lips!
Haccchhhhh!
You’re gonna take white melted chocolate, these are just white chocolate melts that
you can buy at the bakery store, put it in a plastic bag and heat it up.
We’re gonna snip a teeny little… Teeny little tip, and you’re just gonna fill in
the fangs, haaaccchhhhh!
I had pink chocolate melts, and then melt them in the microwave and then pour them
into this plastic bag. I tied it off with a hair tie… Super handy!
Then you’re gonna cut a hole in the bag, and just fill in the chocolate mold trays.
Make sure you press down, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo! A lot!
So that it gets all the nooks and crannies!
Right now I’m just tapping it a little bit, and then I’m gonna, jigga-jigga-jigga…
To help it settle, a lot of times with chocolate you get little air bubbles, and
that’s OK if you get a few, but, we’ll try to avoid ‘em!
While those are cooling, I pre-made cupcakes! These are Strawberry Cupcakes, I’ll
put the recipe down below in the description if you want to go check ‘em out.
And we are going to frost them with strawberry frosting.
Now we’re gonna make it rain, with sprinkles!
Done!
Da-nee!
Got all the little pretty cupcakes, and now we’re gonna take all of the design toppings
that we made, and carefully put them on top, eeee!
Put our little chocolate kiss lips on!
Ta-da!
Monster High Cupcakes! I really really liked doing these, it was my first time using royal
icing to do these designs, and it worked so well! They’re very seamless, so it’s
not like free handing chocolate. Um, this was amazing.
I think I’m going to do it again! Mmmhmmm!
If you have any other ideas for any other Nerdy Nummies, please let me know,
leave me a comment and I will do my best to make it happen!
If you have any spooky ideas, those are my favorite!
OK, thanks so much, bye-bye!
