2 Ways to Make Mummy Cupcakes for the School Halloween Party
When it comes to school parties, I’m all about the snack being part of the activity. Kids love the concept and it really adds to the fun of the party. Plus, combining a snack with the activity can stretch the time if there’s any left over. Over the years I’ve included all sorts of approved snacks into the classroom party by having the kids decorate their dessert!
Party treats like unfrosted cupcakes and plain sugar cookies are the most simple to decorate in the classroom. If you are looking for a simple one to decorate for Halloween then I highly recommend mummy cupcakes. The design is easy for anyone to do, so all levels of artistic abilities can accomplish decorating the sweet treat. Chocolate mummy cupcakes are also a great addition to the school party. Without much prep time, this last-minute Halloween treat is sure to add some minutes to the party, especially if you have some time to fill. It’s like having a homemade item that the kids make themselves!

Halloween Mummy Cupcakes
Add some fun to your Halloween event with these easy to make mummy cupcakes!
What you’ll need:
Chocolate cake mix (or your favorite chocolate cake recipe if you want to make from scratch)
Vanilla buttercream frosting or marshmallow fluff
Candy eyes or black decorative gel
Piping bag (or you can give each child a sandwich bag filled with frosting and zip off a corner of the bag with scissors)
What you’ll do:
Cool chocolate cupcakes on a wire rack. If you are baking your own cupcakes, allow to cool on a wire rack. (Cooled cupcakes are needed before icing!)
Pipe lines of white frosting onto cupcakes. Using a flat or round tip if you prefer, pipe lines of frosting onto the top of each cupcake creating a zigzag design.
Keep in mind that a little bit of white frosting goes a long way on these mummy Halloween cupcakes! You don’t want to use too much frosting. Just some simple lines will suffice. Part of the charm of these fun mummy cupcakes is having some of the chocolate cupcake peek out from under the mummy bandages.
Add the mummy eyes and you are done! This is where the two ways to make the cupcakes comes in. It’s all in the eyes! Turn a little dot of black icing into an eye or add some candy eyeballs.
It’s that easy to make mummy cupcakes during the classroom party or at home with the family for Halloween night! Speaking of… I’m planning to have special Halloween themed meal for my family this year. Stay tuned.
Additional ideas and ways to decorate mummy cupcakes:
Use chocolate chips for the eyes.
Encourage creativity with a variety of candy colors.
Make your own easy easy buttercream frosting or go for some store-bought frosting to make life even easier.
These adorable little mummy cupcakes are a perfect treat and fun way to celebrate Halloween!
