Fun Spooky Halloween Cupcakes for Kids
The witching hour is near, and what better way to celebrate than with a batch of spooky cupcakes? These cute and creepy concoctions are perfect for little goblins to both make and munch!
1. Monster Eyes Cupcakes:
Use fluffy buttercream icing in vibrant colors like lime green, purple, or electric blue. Place a large candy eye in the center, and surround it with smaller candy eyes, creating a multi-eyed monster.
2. Graveyard Dirt Cupcakes:
Frost cupcakes with chocolate icing and crumble chocolate cookies on top for ‘dirt’. Add a candy bone or a gummy worm peeking out. For added effect, a small rectangular cookie can act as a tombstone.
3. Ghostly Meringue Cupcakes:
Top your cupcakes with a dollop of meringue shaped like a ghost. Use mini chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth.
4. Witch’s Hat Cupcakes:
Place a chocolate-dipped cone or a chocolate cookie on top of the cupcake. Use green or purple icing around the base, and finish with a candy buckle.
5. Spiderweb Cupcakes:
Ice the cupcakes in white or light-colored frosting. Use black icing in a piping bag to draw concentric circles. Then, use a toothpick to draw lines from the center outward, creating a spiderweb effect. You can add a small candy spider for an extra creepy touch.
6. Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes:
Orange-tinted icing can be piped in a pumpkin shape, complete with a small piece of pretzel stick as the stem and green icing for leaves.
