Notes
Tips for making Monster Cupcakes
Keep the bag twisted at the top so the frosting doesn't escape out the top
Stop from time to time and retwist the bag
If the frosting becomes too soft, just place in the fridge for a few minutes. It can soften just from the heat of your hand!
Don't worry if the cupcakes aren't perfect! The imperfections add to the character of the little monsters!
You can flip the eyes upside down and use for a mouth or pipe on a contrasting color of frosting.
To swap out a tip, just unscrew the cap from the coupler and remove the tip. Then add a new tip and screw on the cap.
