halloween cupcake decorating ideas?

Question

I am cooking cupcakes for 2morrow does any body know a cute but easy way to decorate cupcakes for halloween

Answer 1

This is awesome and kids LOVE IT!!

Make chocolate cup cakes...just use duncan hines devils food..it tastes great and is easy to make. By a tub of vanilla frosting. Add red and yellow food coloring...just drop in a few of each till you get the orange color you desire.

Then using black gel make circles on the cupcakes...starting off small and making them larger. with a knife make small slashes around each circle..making them look like spider webs.

Then take black gum drops using two for each cupcake and smash one and cut into eight strips for legs, then push down on the other for a body. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and you are set!!

Answer 2

Mix food dye into vanilla icing to turn it orange. After icing the cupcakes, you could use chocolate icing to draw simple jack o lantern faces on top of the cupcakes. I've seen tubes of colored frosting at several supermarkets that are used for drawing purposes if you don't own an icing bag or similar device.

Answer 3

Well usually when I wake up, I'll get up and turn on SportsCenter and go to the kitchen and fix myself some Twinkies with brown sugar sprinkled on top than I'll have a liter of Coke to wash it down. Usually I'm done by the time SportsCenter is over so I'm ready to begin my day.
I then like to have an in-between breakfast and lunch meal which usually consists of waffles, chocolate brownies and skittles. I'll eat those for awhile and read the paper or chat online with people that like to talk about their own geneology as if it's the second best family next to the Kennedys in the past 100 years.
Then for lunch I'll take two bear claws and stuff them in my mouth as fast as I can, I wash that down with some Coke and Mountain Dew (Sometimes I get really crazy and take Mello Yello in the place of Mt. Dew....yeah I'm a rebel). I then take turkey legs and eat them whole....bone and all.
After that, I go for a walk and usually am ready for some Dairy Queen where I order 3 banana splits and a cherry Star Kiss (you gotta love those things) and I'll put them on the floor where I bend down like a dog and eat them up like I haven't eaten in days! Well, usually the cops come by and escort me out, I don't fight it too much anymore. And they tell me not to go back but I always do.
Well then it's time for Dr. Phil....
After that, I have supper, which consists of McDonalds, Hardees and Burger King. I get 2 combos from each place and go nuts.
I go to bed usually passed out on the floor.
Then I do it all over again...I'm sorry what was the question again?
