Halloween Cupcakes Icing Ideas
Halloween will be here in less than 2 weeks, so we started practicing our spooky cupcakes skills. It was our first time having a go at making something with icing, so check out what we came up with.
Earlier today I shared our Top 5 Tips for Baking with Children, so nothing better than putting them in practice. Little man is a great chef, he can whisk a cake mix like nobody else.
We made some easy cupcakes and here is the recipe we followed from Appliance Online blog.
Ingredients for 12 yummy cupcakes:
- 65g caster sugar
- 60g Light soft brown sugar
- 125g self raising flour
- 25g Chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 medium eggs
- 125g butter or margarine, softened at room temperature
- 2 tbsp milk, to loosen
Baking Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4
- Empty the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl
- Add the butter and the eggs and mix well
- Add the milk and vanilla extract (optional) and mix
-
Spoon mixture into cupcake cases - Bake for 15 mins or until golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean
- Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
- And simply decorate!
Now it’s where the fun starts by decorating the cupcakes. We have chosen to use a Halloween Icing kit with orange, white, black and purple icing.
It was a lot of fun making spooky Halloween modelling: Spiders, Pumpkins, Spooky Ghost, Witch hat, Spooky Snail and Spooky Pizza Face.
Based on past experiences, I knew the cupcakes would be eaten very soon, so I took lots of photos of them so I could cherish our first modelling with icing! I’m sure our Halloween Cupcakes will go like hot cakes!
Since Appliance Online is giving away amazing prizes for cakes and I have followed their yummy recipe, I shall submit this post for a chance to win a great bundle of treats!
Baking itself was very enjoyable, let alone winning amazing treats for the whole family! Great! 🙂
