Halloween Cupcakes

Friday, November 2, 2007

I made cupcakes for the Monday Night Football game a couple weeks ago. Since I made 2 batches, I froze 1/2 to save for Halloween. I took the cupcakes and frosting out of the freezer on the 29th and put them into the fridge. Then on the 30th I took them out and set them on the counter for about an hour before decorating them.

I had a lot of fun decorating them and I think they turned out great. One note about black frosting – it stains your mouth really bad!! With the mini cupcakes for MNF, I don’t think anyone noticed, but I ate one of the orange cupcakes and my tongue and teeth were black until I drank a glass of water. I told hubby to warn his coworkers before they took one!

I don’t have an electric mixer. can this be made by hand and get the same consistency? I’m finding mine runny.

How long does the frosting keep in the fridge? Can I leave it for two days?

  It will be fine in the fridge for a week or so.

wil this work with home-made cream cheese? I make my own from sour cream by draining the liquids from it overnight in a cloth…

  While I haven’t tried it myself, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I’d love to hear how it turns out for you.

How do I keep cream cheese frosting from being so runny that the frosted cake has to be kept in the fridge? Are there proportion formulas, e.g., 1 part cream cheese : 1 part butter : 2 parts powdered sugar for a firm frosting?

)please reply to this email.)

  I use this recipe for frosting a cake. If you need to make it more stiff, add more sugar.
