Skeleton Cupcakes: A Deconstruction

Found on weheartit.com
Hey Mr. Bones! Lookin' spooky! Unfortunately, there isn't a recipe attached to these Halloween cupcakes so I decided to try to figure out how to make them based on the picture. Personally, it looks like the hat is made of an upside down mini cupcake and some sort of chocolate wafer or candy. The eyes look like m&ms, black licorice pieces for the nose, maybe piping for the teeth? I think those could be substituted with tic-tacs. The skull is a little more tricky, from this angle it looks like it's made out of a blob of frosting...which would make sense since there isn't a definitive frosted top on these cupcakes. Hope this helped for those of you who might want to try these out!

To me it looks like a scoop of icing. Using a ice cream disher(scooper). A chocolate wafer for the brim and a mini cupcake for the top of the hat. Like you said M & M eyes and licorice nose but I think the teeth are mini marshmallows. Tick tacs would be cool too.
