Halloween Cupcakes!

So today I had a major Halloween cupcake-a-thon! There are so many ways to get creative with Halloween-themed treats! These cupcakes are all really easy to make and they are great ones to get the kids to help out with. I made all of these for the Campus Food Bank bake sale tomorrow so hopefully they bring in some good donations!

Happy Halloween everyone!



Spider Cupcakes
Chocolate cupcakes, chocolate buttercream icing, black sprinkles, red Skittles, and black licorice lace


Mummy Cupcakes
Chocolate cupcakes, vanilla buttercream icing, yellow mini M&M's


Pumpkin Cupcakes
Carrot cake cupcakes (pumpkin or spice cake cupcakes would work even better!), vanilla buttercream icing dyed orange, square of Hershey's milk chocolate, and a spearmint leaf candy


Skeleton Cupcakes
Carrot cake cupcakes, chocolate buttercream icing, black sprinkles, white chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips


Ghost Cupcakes
Carrot cake cupcakes, chocolate buttercream icing, black sprinkles, white chocolate, semisweet chocolate

*To make the skeleton and ghosts I melted the white chocolate chips in a plastic bag, snipped off the corner, then drew out the shapes onto a piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet. I put the cookie sheet in the freezer for about an hour until the chocolate hardened, then did the same with the semisweet chocolate to draw on the faces. I put them back in the freezer for another hour, then voila! homemade chocolate cupcake toppers!
