This Ninja Cupcakes recipe is so cute and perfect for Halloween!  You can bake the cupcakes using your favorite cupcake recipe or box mix and then all you need to do is decorate the cupcakes ninja-style.

You'll need black fondant, candy eyes, and gold sprinkles to complete your cupcakes.  Super easy!

Scantily frost cupcakes with vanilla frosting.

Roll out black fondant (to about ¼ cm thick).  Using a circle cookie cutter or biscuit cutter, cut fondant to the same size as as the cupcake.

Then, use a knife to cut each circle in three pieces.

Position a semicircle of fondant on the bottom of each cupcake and top of the cupcake, leaving a small space. Press the fondant into place.  Add the candy eyes to the empty space.

Then, place the final piece of fondant across the bottom of the opening.

Smooth any frosting that escapes under the fondant to create a clean edge.

Roll the edge in gold sugar sprinkles.
