Remember earlier this week when I said anything goes in October? Well today I’m back with another one of those crazy only in October treats! Last year I shared with you guys these Ooey Gooey Slime Filled Cupcakes and they were such a hit. As weird as it is…they might be my favorite cupcakes I’ve ever made! Ever since I’ve wanted to try some more “slimy” treats so the very second I thought I could get away with it…I whipped up some of these slimy little guys.

Seriously, they are so much fun. And it wasn’t just the kids that loved them – the adults we’re having fun with them too! Last year I used a white chocolate pudding dyed green as the “slime”. This year I really wanted to try using gel icing and it turns out Wilton had this neon green ready to go. Then I came across these gumball eyes at Micheals, which made the perfect little toppers – althought I really debated sticking some spiders on their too, wouldn’t that be cute creepy?
Here’s what you’re going to need:
Baked Cupcakes
Buttercream
Lime Green Coloring (I used AmeriColor Electric Green)
Green Wilton Sparkle Gel (Piping Icing)
Candy Eyeballs
Step 1: Dye your buttercream green. I used my decorators buttercream shared here.
Step 2: Frost cupcakes like normal. If you would like more info on how I frost mine check out Frosting Cupcakes 101.
Step 3: Just squeeze a little “slime” on to the top of the cupcakes then add eyeballs – or whatever creepy little things you’d like!
Seriously so easy and yet big difference! Why not gross out the kids and whip up some of these slimy treats?!

Bright, colorful, fun, and creepy at the same time… the perfect Halloween treat!
I love how such a simple cupcake decoration can make such an impact on your senses. Creepy, gross, yet sweet all at the same time. Pinning!
I love these – great idea. You icing is PERFECT!
Thanks! :)
These are some of the cutest cupcakes I’ve ever seen!
Thanks! :)
