I love Halloween always have, my Birthday is on the 20th so growing up I always had birthday/Halloween parties so it's always been a big deal for me and it's alyways been special. This is my second Halloween since I moved out and since I live in a converted chapel, I had no excuse not to do something to my porch. Last year I made a load of cupcakes so I decided to do the same again this year but better. Prep this year took me ages but it was well worth it.
Here are some photos of me making my Halloween cupcakes.
So I started off piping the orange butter cream into spirals and patterns on the cupcakes.
Here's me in my kitchen .
Here's the piping finished off with the black. Turning butter cream black took a LOT of icing sugar and a lot of black food colouring.
And then I just finished off the cupcakes with some little skulls I made out of fondent icing. I just squished little balls of fondent into a skull shape and used modeling tools to make the face.
(some little black flowers as extra accesories)
Then I just added some sweets wrapped into bunches onto the cake stand and I was ready to take on my trick or treaters!
Here are the pics of my porch.
It's a good job I was so well prepared really because with a front porch like mine I've got no excuse not to go a bit mad at Halloween so as I'm sure you can imagine, it atracted a lot of attention.
