Halloween is one of those holidays that just begs for cupcakes. Between class parties, office treat tables and seasonal bake sales, there's no better time to put on your cake decorating hat and think creatively. The Slashfood Flickr pool has an amazing assortment of talented artists who have directed their abilities towards the pursuit of the perfect spooky, scary, haunted cupcake.

I've searched through the pool and put together an gallery featuring the best of the Halloween cupcakes added to the pool so far this year (big thanks to all of you who've added your pictures). If you made some Halloween-themed cupcakes (or for that matter, any fun-holiday themed treats) make sure to add them to the pool, as I'd love to see them.

The Slashfood Flickr pool is awash in glorious Halloween-themed cupcakes and cookies right at the moment, thanks to a bounty of creative and generous bakers. This particular cupcake comes to us from Ezra Pound Cake and is actually a Tuesdays with Dorie challenge mixed with decorating instructions from Hello, Cupcake!

The cakes are Dorie Greenspan's Chocolate-Chocolate Cupcakes and the decorations are nothing more than Oreo cookies, M&Ms and some artfully applied frosting (head over to Ezra Pound Cake for more detailed instructions).

Thanks Rebecca, for adding this picture to the pool!
