Happy Halloween!

As I’ve already mentioned, Fall (and especially Halloween) is definitely one of my favorite times of the year. Although I didn’t have a creative costume for Halloween this year, I definitely enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy) all of the other perks of this time of year – namely all of the FOOD (of course!), decorations, weather/leaf color changes and spending more time with family and friends!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! Just wanted to share a few of my favorite pictures from this season/holiday so far!

Halloween Cupcakes Part 2: Tombstone Cupcakes

I am absolutely smitten with the idea of cupcakes (especially mini-cupcakes). Cupcakes are the perfect alternative to a heaping piece of cake and are so easy to bring to a party or hand out for one’s birthday. Plus, it’s easy to design each cupcake differently or use different colors of frosting. Even though I love them, I often wish they were just a bit smaller. My next baking investment will definitely result in the purchase of a mini-cupcake tin.

Although I already made Halloween-themed cupcakes as seen in this post, I absolutely love Halloween and figured I’d jump at the chance to make cupcakes again. These are pretty simple; however, beware (so Halloween appropriate) of the green food dye used in this concoction. You wouldn’t want to get it on your clothes!

Step 1: Make Chocolate Cupcakes
and Let Cool

Step 2: Use Black Gel To Write
“R.I.P” on Milano Cookies

Step 3: Combine Green Food Dye and Coconut


Step 4: Stick Knife Into Cupcake
To Make a Pocket; Frost Cupcakes

Step 5: Place Coconut on Top
of Frosting, then Put Cookies
Into the Pocket; Serve and Enjoy!


Now that I’ve made these cupcakes, I need to get to the “real” part of Halloween: picking out a costume!

Cheers!

Halloween Cupcakes Part 1: “Mummy” Cupcakes


I love stumbling across old photos. I happened to find a picture of these Halloween-themed cupcakes from last year on a photo from my phone. Although I’ll be making a different Halloween-themed cupcake for this year (in a future blog post coming soon), I wanted to share these because they are extremely simple and oh-so-cute. Plus, you never can go wrong with cupcakes!

How to Make “Mummy” Cupcakes:

Step 1: Bake chocolate cake mix into cupcake tins and let completely cool once done baking.

Step 2: Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting.

Step 3: Pipe white frosting in strips across the cupcakes for the “mummy layers”.

Step 4: Add M&Ms.

Step 5: Eat!

Cheers!
