Instructions
Bake cupcakes according to package or recipe instructions. Allow to cool completely.
Fondant Ghosts
Spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top of each cupcake.
Roll out white fondant about 1/16 inch thick on a piece of parchment paper (or a clean surface lightly dusted with cornstarch)
Cut out circles that are 4 inches in diameter. A wide mouth mason jar ring or cookie cutter can work for this step.
Unwrap a lollipop and place the top in the center of the circle of fondant. Gently press the fondant down around the lollipop to create a ghost shape.
Press mini chocolate chips into the fondant to make eyes.
Press the lollipop stick into the center of your prepared cupcakes so the ghost stands upright.
Frosting Swirl Ghosts
Use a frosting decorating bag with large round tip to pipe a tall swirl of white frosting on top of each cupcake.
Press mini chocolate chips into the frosting to make eyes.
