Zilly Rosen is a cupcake designer and bakery owner with over 25 years of experience and a bakery of her own in New York City. She puts to good use both her extensive baking experience and her arts degree with these beautifully detailed and truly tasty cupcakes. Unlike some cupcake books, which just teach you how to decorate cupcakes, Zombie Cupcakes: From the Grave to the Table with 16 Cupcake Corpses is also a recipe book filled with professional cupcake recipes.

- Skeletal Zombies
- Zombie Moon
- Bride and Groom
- Bludgeon to Survive
- Zombies Rising
- Eye Poppers
- Graveyard
- Trick or Treat

- On the Loose

You can go with something innocent and kid friendly like the zombie graveyard in the moonlight or something disgusting and gory like the bloody eyeballs on Eye Poppers.
Each recipe has an extensive set of color pictures, a difficulty rating and extras like Zombie Trivia. If you’re a newbie to cake decorating, you can start with the easy ones and work your way up. Zilly provides very good instructions and there are numerous tips on working with the fondant and creating the molded pieces for each decoration. Each recipe also comes with a sidebar list of every item needed in order to make preparation simple and efficient.
If you’re a new decorator, this is a good book to go with since most of the cupcakes can be created with store bought ingredients like fondant and food coloring. There’s no need to try to start from scratch here. Although the decorating part might be difficult for kids, these would make a great group project for an older scout troop or a teen party. The Bride and Groom fondant zombie could be made up without the cupcakes for a nasty little wedding cake topper. And if you're a super mom, whip up a few of all of them to pass out to your little one's class on Halloween.
