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!
