Need some Halloween cupcake ideas for any upcoming parties? Or just 'cuz you want to make cute cupcakes haha? I have 3 cute and easy ones to share with you over the next couple days...they are all about the decorating, not the baking. Start with your favorite cupcake - these are devil's food boxed mix doctored up with an extra egg, replace the water with milk, add a teaspoon of vanilla and handful of mini chocolate chips.To make each mummy I frosted with my chocolate buttercream frosting (see below), add 2 candy eyes, then pipe white buttercream frosting in strips across the top (I used a #104 piping tip).
Buttercream frosting: using a mixer, beat 1 stick of unsalted room temperature butter with about 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and a few tablespoons of heavy cream (or milk) until fluffy. Add more sugar or cream for spreading consistency.
Chocolate Buttercream: follow the above recipe adding cocoa powder (probably 1/4 to 1/3 cup).
