"I Vant To Suck Your Blood!"

Or some other cheesy dracula line! Halloween wouldn't be complete without a dracula in the bunch so here is Monster No. 9 in all his glory!


Notice the theme here? They really are pretty easy to make! These are the tips I used for Dracula: No. 3 round and No. 5 round.


I started with the cupcake, a bag of cream cheese icing and the coupler.


Ice your cupcake and get it as smooth as you can. This is where the small off-set spatula comes in handy. You can't use the roller on cream cheese icing because it's way too sticky, and it will just stick to the roller and make a big mess!


Next with the No. 5 round and white icing, pipe the rounds for the eyes.


Then with the No. 3 round and black icing, pipe the pupil of the eyes and his mouth.


Next, with the No. 3 round and white icing, pipe his fangs. Just squeeze a little and pull down.


Then, with the No. 3 round and pink icing, pipe the round for his nose.


Next, I had to throw in a little red gel for affect! It's cute and you can get it at the grocery store. Actually, you could use the red gel for ALL your Halloween cupcakes!


Last, but not least, the do! With the No. 3 round tip and black icing I started in the middle and just squiqqled my way left, to the middle, right, to the middle - until his hair befits the prince of darkness.


That's all there is to it-try some out today. Your little "blood suckers' will thank you!
