Halloween Cupcakes

Like all my decorating ideas, the Halloween cup cakes are all totally edible as I prefer them over plastic toppers. I use lots of colored frosting and candies to create wonderful effects.

Next to each picture I have listed what I have used and given a brief description of how the "look" is achieved. I promise they are really easy. My nine year old daughter helped me with these and we had great fun.

Frost cupcakes with glace frosting or buttercream frosting. I added blue food colour but you could use black as well. I had some fondant so rolled this so that it was reasonably thin and then cut it to look like a ghost. You could also use white milk bottle sweets and roll them out to flatten them a little. Use edible black decorating gel for eyes.

More Halloween cupcake ideas:

Frost with glace frosting and pipe the words "BOO", "Happy Halloween" etc on in a contrasting colour.

Use orange glace frosting and add a green sweet to be a stalk - and you've got a pumpkin! Add a face if you wish.

Use red glace frosting, add a green sweet for a stalk so that it resembles an apple. Place a lolly snake or worm so that it appears to be wiggling it's way out of the apple!
