Create spooky and fun glow-in-the-dark ghost cupcakes for Halloween. These treats use tonic water for a magical glow under black light, perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 1/4 cups tonic water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Black food coloring
  • White frosting
  • Black sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, tonic water, vegetable oil, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes.
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Divide the frosting into two bowls. Leave one bowl white. Add a small amount of black food coloring to the second bowl and mix until you achieve a gray color.
  9. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the white frosting.
  10. Using a piping bag or a knife, create ghost shapes with the white frosting on top of each cupcake.
  11. Drizzle the gray frosting over the white frosting to create a spooky effect.
  12. Add black sprinkles for the eyes and mouth of the ghosts.
  13. For the glow effect, place the cupcakes under a black light before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your tonic water is fresh for the best glow effect.
  • Adjust the amount of black food coloring to achieve your desired shade of gray.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature.
