Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Purple gel food coloring
  • Black decorating frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat egg whites on low speed. Add cream of tartar, then gradually add sugar while increasing to high speed until bright white with semi-stiff peaks.
  3. Pipe meringue mounds (1-inch base, 2 inches high) on the baking sheet using a piping bag fitted with Wilton tip #12.
  4. Bake for 2 hours, then turn off the oven and leave meringues inside for an additional 30 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the buttercream by mixing softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, and milk until smooth. Add a drop of purple gel food coloring and mix until completely tinted.
  6. Frost each cupcake with the purple buttercream using a piping bag fitted with Wilton tip #12.
  7. Once cooled, use black frosting to pipe eyes and mouths on the meringue ghosts.
  8. Place a meringue ghost atop each cupcake; serve any extras alongside.
