Equipment

  • Large Serving Tray at least 12 x 12
  • parchment paper
  • Disposable Pastry Bag
  • Large Round Piping Tip
  • Offset Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 Fruit By The Foot strawberry
  • 2 Ready To Use Buttercream Frosting white, 16 ounce tubs
  • 1 tube Wilton Black Sparkle Gel
  • 4-6 Little Debbie Zebra Cakes
  • 6-8 Mini Cupcakes
  • 8-10 Golden Oreo Cookies
  • 6-8 Chips Ahoy Cookies full sized
  • 8-10 Mini Pink Frosted Cookies
  • 12 Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • 12 White Chocolate Covered Pretzels
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

Make the bow

  • Start by preparing the bow using the Fruit By The Food. Cut a strip out to make a loop for the base of the ribbon. Use a dab of frosting to glue the ends together (frost the pieces together in the middle as it will be covered with the next piece).
    1 Fruit By The Foot
  • Cut a small rectangle to wrap around the center of the loop and use frosting to secure it.
  • Cut two equal strips and secure them to the bottom of the ribbon base. Trim the bottoms at an angle to complete the bow. The picture below shows the bow and the hanging pieces of the ribbon before they are attached.
  • Take the remaining strip and cut in half. Roll each piece and insert them into the center of the bow loops to help give them shape. Adding in these rolled up pieces keeps the loops from being pressed flat and helps them to stand up.

Skull Template

  • Print out the skull shape from the PDF file that you can download below.

Put Together Charcuterie Board

  • Fit a pastry bag with Round Pastry Tip and fill with all of the white frosting.
    2 Ready To Use Buttercream Frosting
  • Trace the skull shape on the parchment paper and cut it out. Secure it to your serving tray or charcuterie board with a dab of frosting. Trace the outside of the template with frosting.
  • Remove the parchment paper. Then fill the entire skull shape with the frosting.
  • Use an offset spatula to smooth the surface of the frosting and to make lines at the bottom of the skull to define where the teeth would be located.
  • Use the black sparkle gel to create two oval shaped eyes and make an upside down heart shape to be the nose.
    1 tube Wilton Black Sparkle Gel
  • Place the Fruit by the Foot bow on the top right of the frosting skull.
