    Making the cupcakes:

    4) In your second bowl, using the electric mixer, combine the Butter and Sugar.  

    5) In the second bowl, using the electric mixer, now mix in the Eggs and Vanilla.  

    6) Now take the dry ingredients you mixed in the first bowl and the Milk, and slowly pour them into the second bowl, mixing while you do.

    7) Once everything is combined, pour the mixture into the cupcake tin and fill each one half-way.

    8) Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. When you pull them out, insert a toothpick or fork into one to check that it is dry and fully cooked inside. If not, pop it back into the oven for another 2-3 minutes and test again.

    If it’s too thick, you can add another tablespoon of Milk. If it’s too thin, you can add another tablespoon of Powdered Sugar.

    3) Now add the Food Coloring one drop at a time. Alternate between the green and yellow until it is your preferred zombie color. (We used 2 green drops and 4 yellow drops).

    4) When the cupcakes are cool, you can frost them.
