As you probably know by now, I love to bake. Even better than baking, is decorating your baked goods to look as good as they taste! I am always looking for something new to try and thought Halloween would be the perfect occasion to whip up some spooky sweets.
I finally decided that I would attempt a completely foreign technique to me: the filled cupcake. After some diligent internet research, I decided to go with the simple and straightforward "cone method" to fill my cupcakes (click here to see my 'how-to' post on this surprisingly simple trick, complete with pictures).
I made two varieties for a party we went to on Halloween: monster cupcakes with "slime" filling and vampire bite cupcakes with cherry "blood" filling*. Both kinds of cupcakes were frosted using a pastry bag and buttercream icing. The monster cupcakes were topped off with marshmallow fondant eyes that I hand-painted with edible dye.
They were super cute, a little creepy, and totally delicious!

*I always believe in giving credit were credit is due! While I used a different recipe, frosting, etc. I got the idea for the vampire bite cupcakes from one of my favorite sites: bakingbites.com. Check it out! It's a wonderful recipe resource!
