At Halloween we like to make something spooky treats and the recipe for these Halloween cupcakes look great, creepy and exciting to eat.
Sunday is my baking day! And today a ghostly delicacy. I saw this idea come along to the website taste of home and this is my own version. Personally, I found them great and the children were flabbergasted. So they were successful! The recipe is very simple, fast and gives a great effect! We surely make them at Halloween.
Also, we are already are on our way with the Halloween decorations. Near our house everything is going to be spooky. I'm already excited!
Because ...
- you want to make airy cupcakes, make sure that you use all the ingredients at room temperature.
- you could use different colored M&M's, so you make a dozen of different scary spiders. You can also choose to go for a single color for an even bigger effect.
- you use dark colors paper cupcake foils, your spider even seems more creepier.
It's a good taste!
