The "Mummy" is a hot dog wrapped up in a crescent. While it looks more like a doomed hotdog with an oversized sombrero and parka, I found it to be a respectable enough Mummy for the occasion. The clementine could be a pumpkin with a Frankenstein popping out OR a Frankenstein with an orange hoop skirt, you choose. The blob was raspberry yogurt and some orange and purple sugar sprinkles and three frozen blueberries for a spooky effect. I was watching Sandra Lee on the Food Network showing off her hilarious attempt at "scary" cupcakes and it really did make me feel like a professional chef.
Dear Sandra Lee, no matter how much you attempt to use icing for brains, it really is not scary. Please describe it as cute or sweet or silly or seasonal but your cupcakes will never be scary or spooky. BTW, I truly did enjoy the brains icing, but just know that hardly anyone owns teeny tiny miniature cookie cutters the size of a fingertip to cut the eyes and nose out of a sheet of fondant for a pumpkin face. If I had all your kitchen supplies in my kitchen, my kitchen would basically be the size of a small village outside of Boulder. Think about your audience and try to limit your supplies to what is most doable for your audience. Sincerely, Kathy Long.
