Halloween Cupcakes

I made these babies for the cast of a play I'm in. Somebody decided to bring home made lasagna last night, somebody else brought salad and garlic bread, so you know I had to bring something scrumptious!

Orange icing is probably not a typical request at my local Walmart, so.. I used some Halloween magic to turn my store-bought buttercream a nice shade of Jack-o-lantern orange. Check out my magic ingredients.

I also added a few drops of orange extract to the batter and to the icing. Not enough to scream orange, but enough to add a yummy hint reminiscent of the color.

Add a dash of sugar crystals and a sweet treat on top!

Happy Halloween!

Welcome!

I've got something to share with you... it's the inspiration that finally got me to START this little blog... these cupcakes!!

I am super proud of them. This is the first time I've done a real icing design on my cupcakes, used icing tools and everything. I think I have been bitten by the cupcake bug. In fact, I just pulled another batch out of the oven for an event.. ahh, cupcake love. Have another look.

Some are vanilla Funfetti with confetti-inspired sugar crystal sprinkles. The others are Oreo cupcakes! Yes - with real Oreos. Yum! I made these cupcakes for my acting class and as a thank you to our dear teacher. She's given us soo much these past 10 months, I had to give a little something back. One more look!

Tell me what you think!
