Super Cute Friendly Ghost cupcakes

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Halloween is pretty close so I thought I would have a go at decorating some cupcakes for the spooky season. They would be a great alternative to sweets to give as treats to those that come knocking for trick or treats!

They are so easy – children will love making these super cute friendly ghosts!

For really young children you could buy some spooky sweets to place on top of the cupcakes like these jelly brains (found in the pick ‘n’ mix at Wilkinsons), spiders and chocolate skulls. Perfect if you have very little time….but to be honest, the ghosts take seconds too.

You can make any flavour cupcake – I used by Ultimate Triple chocolate cupcake recipe as they are bound to go down well with any child. But you could make a simple chocolate cake with vanilla frosting if you are short on time, or if the children are baking the cakes too.

To make the ghosts pipe the frosting nice and high on top of the cupcake and press in 3 chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth – I told you it was easy!

This Halloween I’m hosting a ‘Come Dine With Me’ style dinner party…I think I will need to make something a little more grown up!

Welcome to Sunday Baking! I started this blog at the start of 2013 and it's taken me on a wonderful journey. A lot has changed in the last few years and you will now see more refined sugar free recipes (although don't worry....if you have a sweet tooth I will still be featuring regular sweet stuff too!).
I no longer post every Sunday, but the recipes I do post are 100% worth trying - if you sign up below I will email you every time I add a new recipe!
Happy Baking!

Despicable Me Minion Cupcakes

It was my nephew Rory’s 5th Birthday last week. Rory loves Despicatable Me (yes….it’s so cute when he says it like this!) Grandad Darren has watched films 1 and 2 with Rory well over 10 times (or so I have been told)! We looked after Rory for a day in half term and that evening…
