For the best flavor and to prevent the cupcakes from drying out, place them in an airtight container.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have leftover frosting, you can freeze it or store it in the fridge for 4-5 days. Let it come to room temperate before using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Freeze Monster Cupcakes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can bake these ahead and store them in the freezer. It\u2019s better to freeze un-frosted cupcakes. Just place them in an airtight container, cover them tightly in plastic wrap, then put your lid on securely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also make your frosting ahead of time and freeze it the same way. Let everything come to room temperature before you assemble and decorate your cupcakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"pink and blue colored monster cupcakes for halloween\" class=\"wp-image-20710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-2-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Making Monster Cupcakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Don\u2019t overfill your cupcake liners. This batter will expand, and if your liners are too full, your cupcakes will overflow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t try to frost too early. Make sure you let your cupcakes cool completely (30-45 minutes), or your frosting will melt!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can sift your powdered sugar before using it in your recipe to minimize lumps. This is especially important if your powdered sugar has been in your cupboard for a while.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/spider-web-cupcakes\/\">Spiderweb Cupcakes<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/frankenstein-cupcakes\/\">Easy Halloween Frankenstein Cupcakes<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/pumpkin-cakes-recipe\/\">Pumpkin Cakes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you\u2019re planning on serving these at a later date or even a few hours later, wait to decorate with the candy eyes. The frosting food colors may run, and the eyes may no longer look white. Add the eyes closer to the serving time for best results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No piping bags at home? You can use Ziploc bags instead. Or, just spread the frosting with a knife! No need to be fancy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you mix your dry ingredients into both your cake mix and your frosting slowly. Add \u00bd -1 cup portions and mix well between each.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"close up view of monster cupcakes with candy eyes\" class=\"wp-image-20709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-1-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/monster-cupcakes-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Substitutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Frosting &#8211; you can use canned frosting for this recipe if you prefer. You can whip your frosting with a hand mixer or even add a bit of softened butter or cream for a more homemade flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flour &#8211; if you want to use gluten-free flour, you can use a product like Bob\u2019s Red Mill Gluten Free Flour at a ratio of 1:1. Just add 1 tsp of xanthan gum, too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blue and Pink Food Colors &#8211; you can make these cupcakes any color you wish! Yellow, orange, purple and green are also fun for Halloween!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Yummy Dessert Recipes To Try<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like this Halloween Monster Cupcakes Recipe, you\u2019ll want to try some of our other amazingly yummy cupcake recipes!
