Halloween Decorated Cupcakes!


Yesterday I went to a "Craft 'til you Crash" night at church, and I signed up for the cupcake decorating class.  It was totally fun!  So, this isn't really a recipe, but I am going to talk about how to decorate like this.  I thought the chocolate work would be difficult, but it was really easy.  Both the cat and the tree are made out of chocolate. 

  1. First, decide what you want to make and draw a picture of it - a simple outline is all you need.
  2. Put your chocolate in a ziploc sandwich bag and microwave it in short bursts until it is all melted.  If you heat it too much, your bag will melt, so keep an eye on it!
  3. Place your picture under a piece of wax paper.  Snip the corner of your plastic bag (make sure it is a small hole) and "draw" your picture on the wax paper using the chocolate.
  4. If you want to put dusting sugar on it (like the cat above) make sure to put it on before the chocolate hardens.  Place your chocolate in the freezer to get them extra hard before putting on the cupcakes!
The rest of this decorating is just frosting, bone shaped candies and dusting sugar.  It was so fun!  I'm going to be trying more fun decorating soon.
