Prepare your chocolate cupcakes according to directions. Allow to cool on a wire rack – remember: they must be completely cool before adding icing and decorations.
As the cupcakes cool, prepare Jughead’s fondant crown. Take a 1 oz. piece off your white fondant and set aside.
With the rest of the fondant, add 1 small drop of gel food coloring. Knead until completely tinted – it should be grey.
Roll out your grey fondant so that it’s about ¼ of an inch thick. Using a paring knife, cut out 12 rectangles. They should be about 5in x 1.5in in size.
Along one long side of each grey fondant strip, cut out small triangles.
Roll out your red fondant, about ¼ of an inch thick. With your paring knife, cut out 12 small triangles.
Roll your remaining small white fondant piece and using Wilton icing tip #8 to cut out 12 small circles.
To make the buttercream, use an electric mixer to beat butter, confectioners’ sugar and milk together. Start on medium speed and gradually increase to high.
Once the ingredients are well-combined, smooth, and form semi-stiff peaks, the buttercream is ready.
Scoop the buttercream into a piping bag, set with Wilton tip #1M. Frost each cupcake.
Brush a small amount of water on one end of your grey fondant strip. Make both ends meet.
Brush water on the back of each red and white fondant piece. Stick one of each on your grey crown.
Place one fondant crown on each cupcake.
