Halloween Cupcakes

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 wouldn’t have thought to combine all those flavors but I guess it works,huh?! It certainly looks good!

    This looks great! I love Smitten Kitchen and her recipes always turn out great. I have three bags of cranberries sitting around so I need to give this a try!
