I signed up for another Birthday Dreams (bringing birthday's to homeless kids). This little 6 y/o who was living in a shelter wanted a Monster themed party. I have done a few Monster High parties for the charity but not a Monster theme yet. I was excited to find a new design to make. I did a Goggle Picture search for Monster cupcakes and came across A Sweet Life design for Monsters. I took her design and created my monsters using modeling chocolate.
What you need:
Modeling Chocolate (Colors of Monsters - recipe below)
Candy Eyes (Large and Small)
Circle cutter
Triangle cutter (or use a star like I did and cut out just the tip of star)
I started with 4 colors for monsters but my 4th color was an epic fail and wouldn't roll out, so I went with 3 colors. I cut out circles for the monster head. I rolled out the mouths (almost like a snake). For ears I just played around and made horn shapes. For the teeth I used a star cutter and used the tip only to make triangles. Some had 2 large eyes or 2 small eyes or 3 small eyes. Have fun with them.
Modeling Chocolate / Clay
12oz Candy Melts (Whatever color you want your monsters to be)
1/4 Cup light corn Syrup
Melt
your Candy Melts in microwave (mine takes about 2 minutes). Stir them
to become smooth and add the corn syrup. It will become thick and form a
ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it sit out and dry. Takes a few
hours or over night is best. (Alexis note: I found to roll this
out use a little powder sugar (like you would do with flour), also you
have to kneed it a little like you would dough to make it easy to roll
out).
Have a GREAT Week!
Those are really cute. You are so kind and do such a great job!
