Making Edible Eyes for the Alligator Cupcakes
When making fun cupcakes, especially animal themed ones you will need to use googly eyes. You can purchase these from a baking store or on Amazon, or you may want to make your own googly eyes. In fact there is a brilliantEasy Edible DIY Eyestutorial by Eats Amazing which shows just how easy it can be to make eyes.
I found edible eyes at both Tesco and Asda here in the UK and they are available over in the US in lots of supermarkets.
Ingredients Needed For Easy Alligator Cupcakes
- 6 Prepared Cupcakes, unfrosted
- 6 Green Ice Cream Cones
- 1 Container White Frosting
- 1 Container Chocolate Frosting
- 12 Round Edible Eyeballs
- Wilton Bubble Gum Sprinkles
How to Make the Alligator Cupcakes?
Frost the cupcakes with layer chocolate frosting.
From the bubble gum sprinkles, pick out about 24 white pieces and cut them in half diagonally so you have about 48 little triangle teeth.
Turn the cones upside down and put a thin line of white frosting across the middle of the bottom of the cone.
Extend the line of frosting over each side of the cone about an inch. Stick 7-8 teeth in a line onto the frosting line making sure the points of the gum are facing out to look like sharp teeth.
Repeat this with all the cones.
Now lay the cones down on their side and use frosting to stick 2 round eyeballs on the top rim of each cone.
Place an alligator cone on top of each cupcake so it looks like the alligator head is coming up out of the muddy water.
