BEETLEJUICE DESSERT INGREDIENTS
Let me show you how to make this Beetlejuice dessert spread by starting with the ingredient list. However, be sure to get the exact measurements at the bottom of the post in the official recipe card. There you will find all the measurements and step-by-step tutorial.
INGREDIENT LIST:
WHITE BUTTERCREAM - Sweet Tooth Fairy® Buttercream Frosting from Michaels is perfect for this or you can make your own. Another perfect store-bought option is Wilton Creamy Decorating Icing in Medium consistency. Regular store-bought frostings won't hold up well unless you want to mix in a substantial amount of powdered sugar to thicken it.
BLACK BUTTERCREAM - Again, the Sweet Tooth Fairy® Buttercream Frosting from Michaels comes in a variety of colors including black which makes this an easy option. You could also add black food coloring to Wilton Creamy Decorating Icing as another option.
PREMADE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES - I used Duncan Hines Chocolate Fudge Cake mix to make mine. They are gorgeous for this dessert spread.
LITTLE DEBBIE FROSTED FUDGE CAKES are the perfect shade of chocolate on the board.
BROWNIE BITES - most grocery stores offer a bakery version, there are also packed options, too.
SUPPLIES USED:
1M OPEN STAR PASTRY TIP - it will be quicker to have two on hand to make this dessert platter.
PASTRY BAGS - I love these Disposable Decorating Bags from Celebrate It.

MAKE A BEETLEJUICE DESSERT
Ready to make a Beetlejuice inspired dessert for your party? There are just a few super simple steps to make on of your own. The best part is that you can pick and choose the way you want to set yours up and the goodies you include.
To get started, we're going to fit two pastry bags with 1M Pastry Tip and fill pastry bags with buttercream frosting.
One with the white buttercream and then the other with the black buttercream.
If you only have one pastry tip on hand, do the black frosting bag first and repeat with white after you pip the black buttercream.
Once the buttercream is loaded up, it's time to grab a clean baking sheet or your choice of food-safe serving board to start piping.
It helps to draw a line with black buttercream in small short dollops at the top towards the top right of the tray and bottom left of the tray to help guide you.
Then, you can easily connect the lines by piping the on frosting in diagonal stripes from the top right corner down to the bottom right corner. Be mindful that you need to leave a good amount of space for the dipping sweets. Alternate with white and black buttercream.
Once the buttercream is looking perfect, you can start adding your treats in.
Star by adding the cupcakes to top right and bottom left corners. Follow with the fudge cakes, placing them in the top left and bottom left corners of your tray.
Now, it's time to fill up the rest of the white space. Add brownie bites nd cookies in.
Then, fill in all of those little empty spaces with gummy pumpkins and the licorice wheels.
Once that is done, you can as many gummy worms which is the perfect addition to this dessert.
As a last and final touch, you can add sprinkles to decorate the buttercream if you like.
Be sure to serve along with spoons and plates for all to enjoy.
