Pet Cemetery Cupcakes

One of my absolute favourite spooky movies to watch around Halloween is Stephen King’s Pet Cemetery. I can remember watching that as a child and just being mesmerized by the very idea of pets we love coming back to literally haunt us.

While I don’t believe for a second that pet bodies raise from the dead, I do very much believe they make it to Heaven. So for a Halloween-themed cupcake, I wanted to add a little fun and made Pet Cemetery Cupcakes. These are absolutely perfect for a Halloween party or just to enjoy a little haunted fun!

I went with cupcakes from a boxed mix for this creation. It saved so much time for me and allowed me to focus on decorating!

You will need:
Chocolate Cupcakes (boxed or homemade)
Chocolate Frosting (tub or homemade)
Crushed Chocolate Cookies
Wilton Graveyard Decorating Set

I was able to snag this awesome Wilton Graveyard Decorating Set at Dollarama earlier this year. I am always so impressed when I can find name brand baking goodies at ridiculously cheap prices. The kit came with gravestones, bones and an edible marker to write on the stones with!

Once you have baked, cooled and frosted the cupcakes, you are ready to decorate! You will cover the frosting with the chocolate cookie crumbs. This gives the perfect appearance of dirt.

Secondly, write on your headstones. For this, I used actual pet names as a sweet reminder to them. Place the headstones in the middle of the cupcake and press in a little so they stand up nicely.

Finally, layer on some bones and you are ready for some spooky fun!!!!
