The Ghosts and the Goblins and the Witches . . .

It's always fun to be given a Challenge

And it is fun being part of the Mystery Ingredient Club

And what a fun ingredient, it was!

To turn these . . .

My favorite and easy cupcakes

Into these!

But wait, there's more . . . 

Let no cupcake go undecorated!

For there is pumpkin witches

for the orange sprinkled ones and . . .

 For the green and orange and black sprinkled ones!

And . . .

More pumpkin witches for these --

my favorite

Electric green icing

and green and black sprinkles

Notice how the pumpkin's green eyes "pop"?

And what Halloween cupcake is complete without

A ghost

And bones?

See them --

Four little cupcakes all in a row

Ready to be devoured by ghosts and witches and goblins to be!

Four little cupcakes all in a row

Ready to be sent to grandgirl Lucy

(who at 3 months will not appreciate them as much as her Mom and Dad)

(Will her Mom remember the fun cupcakes of her childhood, I wonder?)

And the rest of the orange sprinkles?

Will go on shortbread pumpkin cutouts

Perfect for October and November

afternoon tea!
