Halloween Cupcakes

Yup, ANOTHER decorated edible item. I'm catching up on my backlog of things. I promise this is the last of cake decorated items for awhile. Then it'll be onto knitting while I try to complete quilts completely to show off here :P

I went to a Halloween party this last year. I made Ghiradelli chocolate cupcake filled with Bailey's chocolate pudding. They were deeeeeeeeeeelicious. Plus they were decorated thematically.

 Mummies that I decided were ghosts when the frosting didn't want to behave. The sparkle gel I used for the mouth & writing was a bit watery making it hard to work with. But in person it really was very nicely sparkly. Kinda like Twilight vampires.

Graveyard with chocolate wafers & gummy worms. The headstones were challenging to cut the edges off to make them headstone looking.

Cupcake Cake

So for some reason I lost the pictures I took from each class...the only one I have left is the little mini cake I made. Let me know if you guys would like me to post a tutorial on how to apply a coloring outline to a cake. It's really simple and makes everything so much easier.

The sides (doesn't it look awesome speckled? ...Too bad it was actually cake bits. My cake got dried out from sitting in my car all day, still tasted AWESOME though, so it worked out well) with the little ribbon I made at the bottom.

The very top! We were taught how to trace an image on wax paper then carefully apply it to the cake so you end up with a coloring page on top!
