When the frost is on the pumpkin...

It’s time for festive Halloween cupcakes! I love Halloween. Like I love, love, love Halloween. I start thinking up costumes around August 1st and usually have them planned out, if not made, by the end of September. This year I started Halloween off around the Bunker Hill Monument to watch the parade at a little Halloween soiree. I knew I was going to bring cupcakes but didn’t know what kind to bring. Chocolate and vanilla are just so typical – I wanted something a little more fun.

Fun was the key word for these bad Larrys. I decided to make some home made ‘Funfetti’ cuppies. What a way to spice up a plain Jane vanilla cupcake right? Exactly. These tasty treats were topped off with purple vanilla frosting and some fun chocolate ‘accessories’ I made by piping fun designs with melted milk chocolate onto wax paper and popping into the fridge. Fun fact: Wait for the cupcakes to cool before adding the chocolate embellishments they melt pretty quickly if not! Happy Halloween!!
