Ingredients

  • 12 cupcakes from your favorite recipe or boxed mix
  • 1 to 2 cups vanilla frosting from your favorite recipe or canned frosting
  • 2 4.4 ounce packages black fondant
  • 24 candy eyeballs
  • Gold sugar sprinkles

Instructions

  • Apply a thin layer of frosting on top of each cupcake.


    Frosted Ninja Cupcakes
  • Roll out the black fondant to about ΒΌ" (0.5cm) thick.
  • Using a circle cookie cutter, cut the fondant to the same size as the cupcake.


    Cutting Fondant with Cookie Cutter
  • Then, use a knife to cut each circle into three pieces: cut halfway down to create a large semicircle, then cut a little gap above that line to create a strip and a smaller semicircle. Use the photo below as a guide.


    Cutting Black Fondant for Ninja
  • Position the large semicircle of fondant on the bottom of each cupcake and the small semicircle at the top of the fondant, leaving a gap in between.
  • Add the candy eyes to the empty space. Then, place the strip fondant across the top of the large semicircle and just up to the eyes.


    Fondant Placement on Ninja Cupcakes
  • Smooth any frosting that escapes under the fondant to create a clean edge.
  • Roll the edge in gold sugar sprinkles.


    Adding Gold Sprinkles to Cupcakes Edge
  • Serve and enjoy!
