Halloween cupcakes, cookies and other treats

ghost cupcakes
Halloween is next week (where has this month gone?) and with it comes the need to create treats appropriate for the holiday. You could whip up a batch up cupcakes like the ones above. I spotted those at a local bakery recently, and according to them, they use a buttercream frosting to get the shape of the ghost. When it has hardened a little, they dip it into a glaze made from powdered sugar and water. I didn't try one (their sugar cookie won out), but they looked delicious.

If cupcakes aren't your style, you could check out some of the ideas that Super Punch has put together. I see Not Martha's spider cakes from last year, as well as a whole host of other creepy, freaky and tasty treats from around the blogosphere.

After all that, if you find yourself still searching for Halloween goodies, make sure to check out the offerings over at Baking Bites. Last year she created Vampire Cupcakes and this year, she followed up her bloody success with Vampire Cookies. If you don't get around to making them for Halloween, you could save the recipes and have a True Blood viewing party instead!

Punk Glow in the Dark Cupcakes

Punk Glow in the Dark CupcakesI used to love those plastic vampire teeth when I was a kid. Of course, this was before we had the technology to make them glow in the dark. They were just white. I think if I had glow in the dark ones I would have warn them all year round and not just around Halloween.

This recipe comes from CupcakeRecipe.net, and it's for Punk Glow in the Dark Halloween Cupcakes. She takes two flat-topped cupcakes, lots of icing, a jelly bean, and those white fangs to create a rather wild looking punk rock vampire cupcake. And Punk Rock Vampire Cupcake would make for an awesome band name.

Vampire Cupcakes ... that bleed!

Vampire CupcakesThis recipe is rather complex, since you're not just making the cupcake itself but also cherry filling and marshmallow topping, but the effect you get looks like it's worth it.

I wonder if there's another way to do this. Maybe a Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade way. Perhaps getting cupcakes from the store and putting white frosting on them and then putting the holes on top with the red dripping from the holes. Nah, just go ahead and make them at the link above. The recipe makes 18 cupcakes, which is a good amount for a party or for your family.

And as a bonus, when you bite into them it looks even more bloody inside!
