Gravestone Cupcake Decoration

We had fun making these gravestone cupcakes.

Much easier than we thought they would be.

Make a whole plate full of these for a very scary Halloween Cake.

Write scary messages on each tombstone. Scatter colored coconut on a plate the position the cakes to look like a real graveyard.

You could even get some arms off some small dolls and have them sticking out of the grave :-(

My sister used some of these last halloween with great success - she got a formal thankyou from the organizer of the function.
