How to Make Melted Witch Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350℉ and line pans with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, oil, milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly combined.
Pipe frosting onto each cupcake. You can use an actual piping bag, or you can put the frosting in a ziplock bag and cut the corner. Then squeeze the bag as you would a piping bag.
Mix thoroughly until white chocolate is completely melted. Add green food coloring, 1-2 drops at a time, until the white chocolate reaches your desired coloring.
Drizzle ganache over frosting. Glue witch boots to the straw halves, and stick two legs into each cupcake with the boots facing out.
Storage Instructions
Container: Always store cupcakes in an airtight container to prevent the air from drying them out and contamination. We like to store cupcakes in this container.
Counter: Unfrosted cupcakes can be stored at room temperature (and out of sunlight) for one day.
Refrigerator: You can keep cupcakes in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Before eating, allow them time to come back to room temperature before serving. If you ice them with the cream cheese frosting, we recommend refrigerating them.
