It all started yesterday when I was making this Pumpkin Patch cupcake and even after finishing it off real nice, I was left with a lot of Orange and Green frosting. And what was I supposed to do with them? Throw them? No way! I don't like wasting things in my kitchen. So what? I finely decided to make these Monster Eye Cupcakes with them.

So, how did I get this idea? Well, the answer is pretty simple. I was eagerly looking for some baking project which I can do with my little kiddo.
My little munchkin loves baking. You should definitely have a look at him while he is baking - it is one of the cutest things on earth.
So, I finally thought of making these cupcakes. I did the frosting. Well, he also tried few but as you can guess they were too cute to be used! If you know what I mean.
And, I let him keep the googly eyes on the cupcake frosting. He sort of liked it. He was comparing mine with him, saying his cupcake is scarier.
Anyhoo, back to business.

Let's Talk Taste!
This is basically a chocolate cupcake with whipped cream frosting. I have used dark chocolate to make my cupcakes. If you prefer chocolate chips then you can use melt it in the refrigerator in 30-second increment and make it with that. You can also use Milk chocolate if you want. But, I really love Dark chocolate and therefore I made it with Dark chocolate.
Lastly, make a whipped cream frosting with some sugar to make it thick. And I have used gel food coloring to give it that color.
The chocolate cupcakes are moist since they are made with vegetable oil. They are soft and just perfect.
The whipped cream frosting is smooth and creamy. The candy googly eyes are just so good and give you a feeling of being in the Halloween month.
