Halloween Cupcakes

What's Halloween without a big batch of cupcakes?

Here are instructions for these skeleton cupcakes from Woman's Day. They're VERY cute and easy....the skeletons are made of marshmallows and icing.

The gorgeous cupcake wrappers are available from Wilton. I love the graveyard fence style. For the toppers, you could print out any public Halloween clip art and glue it to a toothpick. Easy peasy.

These are classic and fun. The grass is really cute, but I think that might be kind of hard if you aren't a whiz with the icing attachments. The recipe and instructions are over at Salt Pls blog.

Whoa! 52 Cupcakes has some crazy confections.

(I have no idea who to credit this image to...if you know, I'm happy to link to them.)

This was a photo I liked, not a cupcake. Still, I think a little crumbled Oreo dirt, a tiny tombstone, and a barbie arm bursting through the cupcake would be SPECIAL. Oh! Or a whole zombie graveyard CAKE!

I am gaga over this cupcake dress by Anton Perry. Isn't it GREAT? It's not Halloween themed, but you could fix that with some black and orange icing. Who needs that many cupcakes, though? Maybe you could duplicate the look on a smaller scale with a Barbie doll. Put a witch hat on her, surround her with cupcake tiers, and you're good to go.
