Instructions

1. Prepare cake batter and bake as directed on package for 24 cupcakes, blending dry pudding mix into batter before spooning into paper-lined pans. Cool completely.
2. Beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla and food colouring in medium bowl with mixer until well blended. Gradually add sugar, beating well after each addition.
3. Arrange cupcakes on large platter or tray to resemble a monster's head; spread with cream cheese frosting. Use decorating gel to outline the eyes, mouth, scars and hairline on the cupcakes. Fill in the hair with cookie crumbs. Place 1 marshmallow half in centre of each eye; place remaining marshmallow halves in mouth for teeth. Keep refrigerated.
