Ingredients

  • Supplies Needed:
  • white cream cheese frosting amount will depend on how many you make
  • chocolate frosting
  • blue m&m’s

Instructions

Directions:

  • When your cupcakes are completely cool you are ready decorate grumpy cat.
  • First we are going to make his ears so the chocolate can be hardening and setting up while we work on the rest of his face. Use about 2 tsp. of chocolate chips for each set of ears you will need­ melt in a small microwave safe dish, heating for 20 seconds at a time and stirring each time until smooth and completely melted. Scoop melted chocolate into a small plastic zip top bag (right into the bottom corner) snip off a small piece of the corner. “Draw” ears onto waxed paper with chocolate bag and fill it in. Use paint brush to brush white frosting through chocolate to create a furred look to the inside of ears. Place in refrigerator to speed up set time.
  • Frost cupcake using the small rubber spatula with cream frosting.
  • Paint circles in eye area with chocolate frosting using small paintbrush, then spread it up and in on the top inside “corners” and down and out a bit on the furthest outside “corners”
  • Add almond sliver for nose, and draw on his frown with red writing gel.
  • Add ears by pressing hardened chocolate lightly into top of frosting.
  • Add blue m&m’s to the center of brown circles you made, dot on pupils with paintbrush dipped in chocolate frosting.
