Monster Mini Cupcakes

Monster Mini Cupcakes
  • Mini Chocolate Cupcakes:
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 10 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
  • 2 drops orange food coloring
  • 48 small candy eyeballs
  • 2 pieces dried mango


  1. Combine milk and vinegar in a bowl. Let stand until milk curdles, about 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
  3. Combine 1/2 cup butter, white sugar, and vanilla sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Alternate adding flour mixture and curdled milk to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until batter is well blended. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center of 1 cupcake comes back clean, about 14 minutes. Cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  6. Combine cream cheese and 1/4 cup butter in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Mix in vanilla extract. Stir in confectioners' sugar gradually. Color frosting orange with a few drops of food coloring.
  7. Place orange frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a grass tip. Hold the pastry bag at a 90-degree angle 1/8 inch above the surface of a cupcake. Squeeze bag to form orange 'fur' by pulling tip up and away when the icing strand is about 1/2 inch high. Repeat to cover cupcake evenly with fur.
  8. Add 2 eyes to each cupcake. Cut dried mango into small strips and arrange into the frosting as 'horns'.
