Halloween Cupcakes

 

The other day I decided to make some Halloween Cupcakes! I did also film it so that I could make a video for my YouTube channel, however after trying to edit it today, some of the footage didn't upload properly and some of the audio didn't work.

 

But here are my cupcakes I made. To make these cupcakes you will need:

110g of butter or margarine

110g of caster sugar

2 eggs

1 tea spoon of vanilla extract

110g of self raising flour

1-2 table spoons of milk.

 

To decorate my cakes I used:

Vanilla and chocolate icing

Orange and green food colouring

edible cake spray (in the colour green)

pumpkin and black cat sprinkles

edible eyes

coloured writing icing

plastic spiders

All my ingredients and decorations were bought at Asda.

 

 

First of all, you need to preheat your oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line your muffin hole baking tray with paper cases, this recipe makes around 12 cakes, so make sure your baking tray has enough space.

Then, you want to cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl, and beat in the egg's. After that, you will need to add your vanilla extract.

Fold in the flour using a metal spoon, this is also where I added the food colourings. I separated the mixture into two bowls, one for green cakes and one for orange. Once you've done that, add in a little milk.

Spoon the mixture into the paper cases. I would advise that you only fill the paper cases half way, so that when they bake in the oven and they start to rise, they don't overflow. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, once they are baked, leave on the side to cool for an additional 10 minutes.

You are then free to decorate the cakes however you like.

 

 

 

This is a really simple recipe, and lots of fun to make. As you can probably tell, the decorating part was my favourite! These cupcakes are great to make if you're having a Halloween party, or a night in watching scary films with your friends, or you could give them out to trick or treaters, or simply just for yourself and your family to munch on!

Arcade Fun

 

 

 

Over the past couple of weeks I have endured MANY hours of over time at work, and although my pay check this month was very healthy, I started to notice when people asked me "What have you been up to lately?", time after time I had to reply with "Nothing."

Because all I was doing was waking up, going to work, coming home, and going to bed. To me, that's insanely boring, I hate spending every day doing the exact same thing, and I hated the fact I hadn't been given the chance to see any of my friends.

So, I decided I HAD to get out the house one evening and see one of my good friends, I needed to inject a bit of laughter into my week after spending countless hours standing behind a check out saying the same things over and over again,

"Hello"

"That'll be *insert price* then please"

"ok its ready to put your card in"

"and there's your receipt, thank you"

 

 

So, myself and my friend Millie, went for a stroll along the sea front. As it is now officially Autumn, it was, however, dark early on in the evening, so I didn't manage to get many photos outside, although, the cute lights they have all the way along the sea front looked really pretty out of focus.

It was good to get some fresh air and actually be able to catch up with someone. As usual, myself and Millie had many laughs (we always do when we're together) resulting in me feeling sane again and glad to of done something other than work.
