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 am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






Looks great – I love all the sprinkles! 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever made ice cream with coconut milk. I’ll have to remember to try this next time I want to make ice cream! which is often, but I already have three flavors in my freezer right now haha.

Wow three flavors in there at once! You should definitely try using coconut milk. It’s very creamy.
i really need to get my ice cream maker base in the freezer 🙂 yum!

Mine goes right back in the freezer once it gets washed so it’s always at the ready!
I never thought to make ice cream with coconut milk! What an awesome idea!

It’s pretty much the only way I make ice cream. SO GOOD.
Yummy! What delicious looking ice cream!! I want a bowl and it’s only 6am!

Ice cream is an acceptable breakfast food 😉
vanilla Beans Are In The Directions But Not The Ingredients…Should They Be Included?

Sorry about that. There are no vanilla beans in this ice cream. I have fixed the recipe instructions to reflect that.
fun way to use up leftovers 🙂
This recipe is great! The ice cream looks absolutely delicious 🙂
So excited to try this with coconut milk! It looks super yummy! Pinning! 🙂

Hope you enjoy it!
What a fun combo! Now, I need to decide whether to make your sugar cookie or your snickerdoodle ice cream first!

Oh – that’s a tough call! They’re both good.
sounds delicious!
I love sugar cookies and putting them in ice cream was a great idea so i just had to include it in my ice cream round up. Happy Fourth of July!
