Back to School Chalkboard Cupcakes Ingredients

(Makes 1 dozen cupcakes)

Directions

You can use any cupcakes to make this recipe, whether store-bought or homemade. To save time, we used a box mix.

Using the black gel food coloring, darken the chocolate frosting until it is a rich shade of black. Add food coloring one drop at a time to avoid using more than necessary. Frost tops of cupcakes completely with black frosting.

Scoop white frosting into a piping bag and cut a small piece off the corner. You can also use a detail frosting tip with your piping bag to write letters, numbers, words, or math problems on each cupcake.

Break the candy cigarettes in half to resemble chalk and lay one piece on each cupcake.

Cut a tiny hole in the top of each gumdrop and insert a green sunflower seed for the leaf and set one on each chalkboard cupcake.

(Note: if you have trouble finding green chocolate covered sunflower seeds in the store, you can also create your own with green melting chocolate).
