Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Line a muffin tin with silicone liners.
After making your cupcake batter, pour mixture into your liners being careful not to fill it too high. Add rolled up tin-foil balls next to your muffin liner on both sides to make a skull shape.
Bake your cupcakes and let them cool. Use a knife to cut off any of the edges that went beyond the cupcake liners.
Using a piping pen, spread on your vanilla frosting. We then flipped the cupcake over and flattened the frosting on a piece of plastic wrap. You can also use an offset spatula to spread out the frosting evenly.
With a toothpick, add a dab of milk chocolate for the eyes, nose, and mouth. Enjoy!

Notes

Tools: silicone muffin liners, tin-foil, a piping pen and a toothpick.
