Whip up spooky monster witch cupcakes with black liners and creepy candy eyes – perfect for Halloween!
Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at neuroticmommy.com.
These Halloween monster witch cupcakes start with a chocolate cake mix and flax eggs, baked in black liners. Frost them in orange and black, then decorate with candy eyes and skeleton heads for a frightfully fun treat.
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set out cupcake pans lined with black cupcake liners.
- Give each liner a quick spray with non-stick cooking oil or coconut oil spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (almond milk, oil, and flax eggs), then add the chocolate cake mix and beat until smooth.
- Fill each liner about three-quarters full with batter, then bake for 20 to 22 minutes – test with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they're done. Ovens vary, so you may need extra time.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely in the pan before you start frosting.
- Divide your frosting into separate bowls and tint one orange and one black (or choose any Halloween colors).
- Transfer the frostings to piping bags and pipe onto the cupcakes however you like – neat patterns aren't necessary. Alternatively, use a spatula or spoon to spread it on.
- Top the cupcakes with candy eyes and any other decorations you have; the more chaotic and spooky, the better. I found tiny pink and blue skeleton heads that worked great. Have fun and get creative!
