I can't believe it's Halloween weekend already. October flew by like a witch on a broomstick.
We have a Halloween Party and Halloween Pub Crawl to attend this weekend. Any Halloween plans for you?
If you are heading to a Halloween gathering this weekend, I've got the perfect Halloween cupcakes for you, Jack Skeleton Cupcakes.
What you need to make these spooky Jack Skeleton Cupcakes is your favorite cupcake recipe, vanilla buttercream, black food coloring, and no.3 round piping tip.
I know that might sound like a lot of intimidating needs, but I promise, you got this!
Fit your piping tip into a disposable pastry bag or a sandwich bag, and pipe circles and fill in for the eyes. You could try just snipping a small corner off of a sandwich bag and forgo the piping tip. It won't be as clean and precise but may be worth a shot if you don't have the necessary piping tip.
After you piped your circle eyes and filled them in you'll want to use a knife or a decorating spatula to smooth them out.
Then using the same tip and bag you'll pipe your nose, mouth, and eyebrows to your desired skeleton look.
You've now got Jack Skeleton Cupcakes!
Your Halloween will sure to be spooktacular with these Halloween cupcakes! Boo!
