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!

Good job! Looks like we were on the same page for the most part. Great minds think alike. 🙂
Great job! They look great
cupcakes AND cadbury eggs? I have died and gone to heaven. Great job!

Great minds! That’s exactly what came to mind for me too! They look amazing! I might make them anyway (although that means I have to figure something else out for the contest!) They sound AMAZING!
This is brilliant, who’d of thunk it!
They look amazing too, I’m making a dash for the nearest CVS to pick up a few eggs.
These look amazing!
Oh, you are my hero. I LOVE Cadbury eggs. This is a fantastic idea! Mmmmm…
mmmm cadbury eggs are my favorite!! funny how they harden when you bake them!
I find it very amusing that you had a “third try” 🙂
I too get determined and will proceed to make the same recipe over and over until I get it right. Sometimes I even dream about an imperfect recipe and can’t wait till morning to give it another try 🙂
Perseverance pays off!
I can’t wait to try these! You are a goddess in my book!
