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!

After making vegan salted caramel ice cream, I’m in love with the stuff 🙂 If you’re interested, I do have the recipe on my blog for vegan salted caramel, if you’re interested in a non-dairy version!
i love caramel sauce! thanks for sharing!
This recipe was posted a week after I had my daughter so I didn’t get around to making it until now. I decided to do this as a Christmas gift for a friend, and it took me 3 tries but I finally got it right, and it’s delicious!!! Now that I know the tips and tricks to make it work, I can definitely see this being a good gift for future holidays/occasions.
