How can I make Halloween cupcakes SCARY?

Question

I was thinking about putting a gummi worm in each of them, and using orange frosting, with black sprinkles, any other good ideas?

Answer 1

Put Visine in them. And then don't stand in anyone's way when they run for the bathroom!

Answer 2

I would do the worms in dirt affect

Take a think straw for like milk shakes and punch a whole into the center of the cooked cupcake. Frost it with chocolate frosting or orange in your case and add crushed oreo's. The grit of the oreo's will have dirt texture and then put the gummy worm in the center with his little head poking out the top.

It would be the easiest way too go without hours of decorating.

Answer 3

use chocolate batter and chocolate frosting. make a funnel(you can find out on any cooking website) buy some white frosting and put into the funnel. start at the center and make a big swirl to the edge of the cupcake. take a toothpick and make for lines from the center to the outside. then in between the lines already made pull the toothpick up from the edge. this makes a spiderweb effect.

Answer 4

Use a Milano cookie, break it in half, and use icing to make it gray and look like a tombstone... then stick it in green frosting on the cupcake. You can also use black plastic spiders as decoration, and Peeps makes white ghosts you can use too!

Answer 5

Try putting Mexican Jumping Beans under the frosting to make it look like something is living in it. Just let them know before they eat them.

Answer 6

when cupcakes are done and cooled, dig a hole in the middle of it and add scary thing like spiders (FAKE ONES :) Or worms, even keep parts hanging out then fill the hole with frosting like nothing was ever done.

Answer 7

White icing and red gel cake decorating icing as blood. You can also buy gummi body parts or bugs (I would go for the body parts) and top the cupcakes.

Answer 8

you can make the cup cake and put the worm in it and for the frosting make it white, and get a red food coloring and put it on like vanes but space it out and put a eatable eye ball in the middle

Answer 9

sprinlke your cupcakes with crushed Oreos and throw a couple gummi worms on there so it looks like dirt.

Answer 10

Get the "Hey There Cupcake" - it has an awesome "bleeding" heart, a hand coming out of the grave cupcake, spooky eyes, and brains!!!! It's awesome
