Zombie Cupcake Stand: Bring Your Party to Life

The zombie trend is so hot right now. I’m glad it’s zombies though because, apparently, I’m scared of everything else. I don’t have any kids of my own, but I’m a The Walking Dead fanatic. I have to admit that if I saw someone come to a TWD party with this, I’d be mighty impressed! Do you think you’re ready to serve up lots of fun with this super cool zombie cupcake stand? Bring the party back to life with this surprisingly easy DIY project. Send it to the kids’ party and make yours kiddo the coolest in the school this Halloween!

*To make the cupcakes, tint vanilla icing with just a little bit of black food coloring. Feel free to buy pre-made cupcakes! Put icing in a bag and swirl to mimic brains. Follow the same pattern with Wilton food gel to make the “blood.”

 Have fun and Happy Zombie Walk!
