Mummy Cupcakes

A fun little treat for my son's lunches this week :) They aren't light or healthy, just a box mix and canned frosting lol. Boring, but cute. Just make your favorite flavor cupcakes, let them cool, add a drop of frosting for a nose, and a band above, add some candy eyes, and then band across from top to bottom. I left a little bit unfrosted towards the bottom for a mouth, but not sure if that came across properly or not.
