8 Frightfully Easy Halloween Cupcakes

by Erin Lem

Witches and ghosts and things that go bump in the night? If you have a taste for all things Halloween, you’ll eat up these cupcake ideas. We put together some creative (and deceptively easy!) designs that are inspired by the spooky season.

Boo! A Ghastly Ghost

What you'll need: white frosting and black gel icing.

What to do: To get your ghost's head to look like Erin's creation, we suggest piping the vanilla frosting onto the cupcake. If you don't have piping equipment at home, simply place the frosting in a sandwich bag, seal it up, cut off the tip and you have a DIY piping bag. Making concentric circles, pipe the frosting onto the cupcake. Use the black gel icing for the ghost's eyes and nose. 

Which cupcake is your favorite? Let us know in the Comments!
