We're past the halfway mark, folks! And today ... well, we've been invaded!


These quirky little alien monsters didn't seem too scary with their purple grins, but those fangs...

I guess they weren't so hard to defeat after all! ^-^ Very tasty indeed!

To make your own, follow these directions:

1. Make red velvet cupcakes from box following directions.
2. Meanwhile combine 2 containers of vanilla frosting, setting aside about 1/4 cup. Add green food coloring until desired color is reached. (We used 1 tsp green and 1/2 tsp yellow paste food coloring.) Add purple food coloring to remaining 1/4 cup of frosting. (We used about 1/2 tsp purple paste food coloring.)
3. When cupcakes are cooled, use a generous dollop of green, and frost to look like fur.
4. Stick pretzel sticks into mini-marshmallows and dot with black decorator gel. Put two on each cupcake as shown. (You might want to do this right before serving to maintain the pretzels' freshness.)
5. Scoop the purple frosting into a sandwich bag and snip the corner. Squeeze out the monster mouths.
6. To make the fangs, flatten and cut mini-marshmallows in to fang shapes.
7. Eat them before they eat you! ^-^
