The zombie apocalypse is coming, are you prepared? We are holing up in our zombie proof bunker this weekend and doing some serious strategizing. We’ll be watching our favorite zombie movies, plus a few we haven’t seen before, and we will definitely be eating these delicious and creepy cupcakes that will not only satisfy our sweet tooth but will also remind us of the very real threat of the dead rising from the grave to try to feast on our brains.

These were really easy to make. I made a batch of chocolate cupcakes topped with chocolate icing. I then sprinkled and pressed dyed green coconut shavings onto the top. (I couldn’t find green food coloring, or even blue and yellow, so I had to improvise. I juiced a small bunch of chard and drizzled the bright green juice onto the coconut. Worked perfectly and you couldn’t even taste the chard!) Then I molded zombie hands out of a stick of marzipan and carved a tiny hole in the top of the already frosted cupcake with a knife and popped the hands down in there. Voila! Instant zombie apocalypse!

If you are curious, some of our favorite zombie movies are: Night of the Living Dead (both original and remake), Dawn of the Dead (both original and remake), 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, and Fido.

What are your favorite zombie movies?
