Halloween Baking

This weekend, I finally got into the Halloween spirit. Halloween is not one of the favorite holidays. I am not a fan of horror movies and I hate getting scared. But I do enjoy Halloween candy, cheesy Halloween movies, and the fall season. I made some Halloween themed cupcakes for my Sunday school class. The cake, itself, is devil's food cake. I ended up going with three different icing designs. 

1st- chocolate icing grave stones- I used a cute little kit from Wal-mart to make these. It came with tombstones that you could write on!

2nd- cream cheese orange swirl- not too much to this one. I used a piping bag to create a large orange swirl on these. I couldn't have Halloween cupcakes without incorporating orange somewhere!  

3rd- cream cheese "mummies"- I used a piping bag with straight edged tip to get the icing design and for the eyes, I used butterscotch chips. 

4th- cream cheese icing with sprinkles!- these looked like the traditional, kids Halloween party cupcakes. I just threw on any and all festive sprinkles that I could find. I also used black icing to create a spider web on one for the top of my cupcake tree.
