bakery cook and tips: Prepare to Get Slimed! [Slimer Cupcakes]

I'm probably dating myself, but I have always looked forward to watching Ghostbusters every Friday, 7PM on Channel 2. If you are an 80's kid, you'd probably know what I'm talking about. I love Fridays because of this. Free Witch, Baywatch, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles included of course.

One of my Halloween posts this year is a tribute to Ghostbusters. So Bake Happy readers...

Yup, Slimer cupcakes! It can not possibly get slimier than that.

Depending on what version you may have watched, Slimer would sometimes look scary, other versions creepy while some versions cute. I chose to make him cute for this post. HBO, Star Movies and all those movie channels have done a good job of scaring us by showing horror movies this time of the year. I choose my Slimers to be cute.

While preparing the cupcakes, I placed the "Slimers" I made in their dressing rooms (ie cupcake pan) first. They seem to be excited waiting for their close-up.

I baked the cupcakes first then transferred them to the party nut cups.

Then I added a layer of green frosting.

Slimer cupcakes will not be complete without ... well... slime of course. So how do we make a non-gory version of slime? Tint piping gel with electric green gel color.
