Spider Cupcakes
Spider cupcakes make wonderful Halloween party treats and adds a festive look to your party table.
Using these cute cupcake holders from Crate and Barrel make this an easy to make cupcake. I have also seen these at Target. Add colored sprinkles and make your own eyes or use these Wilton ones and you are done!
INGREDIENTS
Cupcake holders available at Crate and Barrel and Target during the Fall
Black string licorice if cupcake holders are not available.
Various Candy Sprinkles in Halloween colors (purple, orange, black, or green)
Frosting of your choice. We like to make our own Buttercream
Icing and use the 1M Swirl Tip from Wilton.
Cupcake mix of your choice
Cupcake liners in purple, black or orange.
Wilton Candy Eyeballs that can be found at WalMart or Craft stores.
MATERIALS
Cupcake Pans
Small Microwave Safe Bowl or Wilton Chocolate Melter
Wooden Spoon
Silicone Brush
STEPS
- Bake cupcakes as directed by your box mix or favorite recipe.
- Let cool completely!
- While it's cooling, make your frosting if you are using home made.
- Decorate with frosting and add sprinkles and eyes.
- Let frosting set and then place decorated cupcake in holder.
Licorice Legs!
We found skinny black licorice strings at a candy store in the mall or at a few grocery stores like WalMart during Halloween.
At Walmart we found Wilton Decorating Candy Licorice but it is a seasonal item. It can be difficult to find!
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Different cupcake pans will have different results. Using the Circulon pan gave the cupcakes a higher profile with a "muffin top" look while my basic pan had flatter cupcakes!
Be sure to cool cupcakes before decorating or your frosting will melt into the cupcake.
