7. BOO! Take a walnut size piece of ready to roll icing. Add a few drops of black food colour and knead it through until you get a marbled grey effect. Boil a little apricot jam and brush over the top of the cake. Flatten the icing to the size of the cake and lay onto the cupcake. Use Silver Spoon Cakecraft Chocolate Letters and Numbers to spell BOO!
8. SPIDER'S WEB. Top the cupcake with Black Designer Icing and smooth over the cake using the back of a spoon. Start at the centre of the cake and using White writing icing to draw circles around the cake. Then use a cocktail stick to drag the centre icing to the edge of the cake. Repeat all around the cake until the web design is complete.
9. MONSTER. Top the cupcake with Green Designer Icing and smooth over the cake using the back of a spoon. Take two black jelly drops, cut off the tops and place as eyes. Using red Writing Icing make a bloody mouth. Take a small piece of White Ready to Roll Icing and colour black using black food colouring, flatten and cut into hair.
