3. Witches Brew Cupcakes






These witches-brew cupcakes are easier to make than you might think.  


Bake your own cupcakes or buy cupcakes at the store (what is shared here on the blog stays on the blog, don't ya know?!) 

Then make your green icing (you can use vanilla frosting and try a safe food coloring product like Wilton Gel Based Food Color or get the exact frosting recipe used in these cupcakes over at the House of Yumm). 

The trick is loading up the cupcakes with extra frosting, so the effect is similar to "witches brew" bubbling out of a Calderon.

Then top the cupcakes with green gumballs in different sizes ( Amazon has green candy gumballs that will work perfectly.)

These cute mummy cupcakes are perfect if you need a last-minute treat for a Halloween party. A box of chocolate cake mix and vanilla frosting are the two main things needed to make these Halloween cupcakes.

To do the mummy wrap with the frosting, a flat frosting tip (#45) will do the trick, and for the googly eyes you could use candy or if you like, try Wilton edible candy eyeballs (under $3 at Amazon).

9. Spooky Halloween Cupcakes For Kids 







What is better than letting kids make their own spooky cupcakes this Halloween?? And it gives busy mamas a little break.

Just bake a batch of cupcakes ( chocolate, vanilla or yellow cake mix). After the cupcakes have cooled, let kids have fun decorating their own cupcakes.

Have chocolate and vanilla frosting ready, as well as some fun candy for decorations and any other cupcake toppers you feel like providing ( like say, plastic spiders).

Use chocolate wafers to make the bat wings on cupcakes. And for the chocolate details on the ghost cupcakes, those small tubes of chocolate icing at the stores should be perfect for little hands.

10. Spooky Wormy Cupcakes








Creepy crawly gummy worms appear to be crawling out of the mud on these awesome fun Halloween cupcakes. The chocolate frosting is inside the cupcake and oozes out of the top of the cupcake. Just bake the cupcakes and let cool. Then carefully make a hole from the top center of the cupcake down to the bottom of the cupcake.

To pipe the chocolate frosting inside the cupcake, spoon frosting into resealable snack-sized plastic baggies. Seal the bag and cut a 1/2-inch hole in the bottom corner of the bag.

Pipe frosting inside each cupcake and place a gummy worm on top so it looks like it is slowly creeping out of the mud.
