What size eyeballs did you use the medium or the mini eyes?
Would a 10oz sharing size bag of M&Ms be enough to make 24 cupcakes or would I need the 42oz party size bag?

I pinned this post a long time ago, and when my son (8 years) asked for a birthday party with fish theme, I immediately knew we would make these fishy cupcakes together with his little friends. So I prepared a batch of chocolate cupcakes and frosting in advance, and the young bakers turned the cupcakes into fish! Thanks for the great idea, and have a look at the result: http://www.rebekkascraftroom.blogspot.ch/2016/04/des-cupcakes-en-forme-de-poisson.html

In reply to Crystal Young. Hi Crystal, I usually put them in the refrigerator, but if you are making them tonight and serving them tomorrow they are probably fine in an airtight container. Just try to keep them in a cool place.

Hey! These are super cute. This is a more general question, but after making the cupcakes, do you have to put these in the refrigerator, or is it okay to keep them in containers with a lid? Thanks! I plan to make them today (around 5-6 PM) and then serve them tomorrow morning (around 8 AM).

In reply to Jen. Hi Jen, we used a normal sized cupcake pan.

Did you use a normal size cupcake pan, or a bigger size, I just made cupcakes and they look way to small for all the m&ms to fit.

In reply to JOy.

Hi – we haven’t experienced any bleeding but the M&M’s candy coating will lose it’s shine from the moisture in the refrigerator. They don’t look horrible and taste fine but the M&M’s do cloud over a bit after being after a night in the refrigerator.

In reply to Pippie.

Hi – I think your granddaughter is going to love the cupcakes! They are always a big hit when we make them. The amount of frosting you’ll need will depend on how you frost them. If you spread on the frosting with a knife like we have done here, a single batch should be fine. But if you use a piping bag and a decorating tip and do something fancier, you’ll probably need to make a second batch. Hope that helps!
