Instructions
Prepare about two dozen cupcakes according to the package directions. We used chocolate because they would match the black & white color scheme, but you can use any flavor you prefer.
Arrange your cupcakes in a circle shape. It doesn't have to be a perfect circle, as Jack's head is not perfectly round. Make sure cupcakes are complete cool before frosting.
Scoop white frosting into a piping bag with a wide opening. This allows you to easily get your frosting onto the cupcakes, without tearing them up or moving them out of place.
Once you have a generous coating of frosting on all the cupcakes, gently spread the frosting with an offset spatula until you have a flat surface.
In a mixing bowl, combine your frosting with a couple drops of black food coloring. Stir until you have a rich, even color.
Scoop black frosting into a piping bag with a smaller tip. Draw the outline of Jack's eyes and mouth, then fill in the details. Use your spatula to smooth.
