Happy Haloween, Southern Hemisphereans! (Or Blessed Samhain). This time last year I was using the little recognised or celebrated festival of Samhain in the Southern Hemisphere as an excuse to learn how to craft a new, delicious treat: zombie cupcakes!
White fondant dyed green and molded into the shape of hands, attached to
chocolate cupcakes with toothpicks. The broken ground is flake
chocolate, painstakingly broken and crushed and chopped into tiny pieces
and stuck onto chocolate icing. If I ever make them again, I'm going to do
some grave stones on some of them, think it would look even cooler if
not all the cupcake graves have been visited by the undead.
Aside from being kinda funky and delicious, these cupcakes were loads of
fun. Before devouring the fondant we played many a hand gag with these
little babies:

| Zombie thinker |
For my first go I was pleased with them. I still have work to do on my
sculpting, definitely. As they were they were more Hulk than undead, so if I do them again I might add scars and stitches too. Big thanks to Zilly Rosen for her Zombie Cupcakes book,
filled with All Hallows Eve themed horror deserts :D What a find,
sitting on my table at the library one night I went to study!
