Halloween Food Ideas: Three Cute Cupcakes to Make

If you are looking for dessert ideas for your Halloween party or kids party, you don't need to go through a lot of work. What could be more popular these days than cupcakes? These three cute cupcakes are easy to make, and the kids can even help with them.

Start with cupcakes baked in liners. You can find specially decorated holiday-themed paper liners for sale in the grocery or specialty stores. You can even purchase some already made, and just do the decorations yourself, if you prefer.

1. Nummy Mummies

Use any flavor cupcake you like, and a light or cream-colored frosting. You'll need two brightly colored, small round candies for eyes, two per cake.

Spread some frosting along the top edge and a little ways down the cake. Think of this as the bandage going over the mummy's head. Leave an unfrosted area below that, just large enough for the eyes to peek out.

Add more frosting below the eyes, to cover the rest of the cake. Dip the eyes into a small amount of frosting to help them stick, then place them on the cake.

2. Vampires

Use any flavor of cupcake and a light colored frosting. You'll also need either red gel icing or frosting, plus some fruit leather, chocolate modeling clay, or a darker frosting, but that's optional. You can make the whole thing in red.

Spread frosting all over the cake. With the red icing, draw a curved line for a smile. Then make two triangles from either red icing, or cut them from fruit leather and add them to the mouth.

Use two dots of frosting, or balls of modeling chocolate for eyes. To make hair, use a narrow triangle, either cut from fruit leather, or use frosting. Have the narrow point down, towards the eyes, to look like a widow's peak.

3. Skulls

Use any flavor of cupcake, plus a light frosting. You'll also need a darker frosting or chocolate modeling clay.

Spread frosting in a skull shape. Make a figure eight shape, but keep the upper section bigger, and make the lower section with straight sides.

Using frosting or chocolate clay, make two ovals for eyes. Make two tiny ovals or lines for nostrils. And make three narrow vertical lines below that for the teeth.

There you have it. Three easy, cute Halloween cupcake decorating ideas that you don't need any fancy skills to make. They'll be a hit at your next party.

Three Unique Ideas For Halloween Party

Halloween party decorations are extremely important, they spark more or less the same amount of rivalry that Christmas decorations do; needless to say people will spend just about any amount of time and money it takes to make their house look like it could rival that of the Adams' family. Here are three really easy to do Halloween decoration ideas.

You've heard of a front yard full of tombstones; get white sheets and light sticks. Put them under the sheet along with a helium filled balloon. Place this prop next to each tombstone or between trees to make it look like you have a front yard full of ghosts. Place jack o' lanterns at random spots to complete the effect of a haunted cemetery and make your Halloween arrangements look like you've gone the whole nine yards.

Take different items of clothing and stuff them with newspaper. Assemble people made of the stuffed clothes in you windows and add a light. The lights should turn on and off randomly. Give the people pumpkin heads, use hats or old stuffed toys to create the head shape. It will give the effect of different people standing at the windows.

Remember how things like fluttering sheets or branches scare the hell out of you after you've seen a horror flick, Halloween is the best time to use tree branches and white sheets to decorate the house. Paint faces on sheets and use branches to give it limbs.

Put out great food for your guest, bat and pumpkin cookies are good but Halloween fruit bouquets arranged in pumpkin containers with ghosts and black cats made out of pineapple slices are even better!

Unique fruit and delicious Halloween arrangements, make your Halloween party special. Halloween fruit baskets are incredible Halloween table centerpieces.
