Halloween Cupcakes

I have a slight cupcake obsession. I think decorating cupcakes is such a fun activity to do with kids, so we usually end up doing some sort of cupcake for each and every holiday. When my son was younger he was never really into craft projects, but when it came to decorating cookies or cupcakes he was always game. Every kid knows that once you decorate food, you get to eat it. Duh.

My Easter cupcake post was super popular, so obviously I am not the only one obsessed with cupcakes. I wasn’t really sure what kind to make this year, but then I found an awesome deal on some Wilson decorating kits. Boom. Done. I loved the kit with the characters, but I also decided to get the mummy kit, after I saw how awesome they came out when Krafts & Kiddos made them.

 
We made Halloween funfetti cupcakes, since funfetti is the ONLY type of cupcake allowed in my house. I let Hudson select what colors he wanted the base frosting to be. We did a small batch of 12 cupcakes. (I plan on using the rest of the decorations to set up a cupcake station for the kids when we have our annual family pumpkin carving party) I used the rest of the batter to make mini-cupcakes which I put in the kids lunches, without any frosting. (almost like mini-muffins)
               

Once the cupcakes were ready, we all went to town! We used the boxes for inspiration. For some reason our mummy ones didn’t turn out very good, but the white mummy ‘tape’ was very tasty so that made up for it. Also, my husband cut up the tape to make teeth on his monster, which I thought was very creative!

                    

 

So here’s how our first batch turned out… I think they look pretty good! What are your favorite Halloween treats to make or buy? Also I am looking for fun, spooky foods to serve… so if you have ideas or a link for me to check out please leave it for me in the comments and I will check it out!

 

Any guesses on who made which cupcakes?

    Came by to vote for you, and got distracted by the adorable cupcakes! I need to find decorating kits too, they look like so much fun! I also love the idea you had of sending mini cupcakes without frosting to school. A lot cleaner and healthier, but a nice little treat!

    These look so adorably awesome. I think we’re doing another mini version of adult Halloween (along with the kids), and these would be good for both.
