Check out these skull and crossbones cupcake wrappers from My Little Love, Sweet Party Supplies. I like the skulls inside the paisley’s which makes for a pretty yet spooky wrapper that will look great on any Halloween dessert table. Twelve wrappers come in a package for $10.00. My Little Love has lots of other wrappers and fun Halloween party supplies like the 36” jack-o-lantern balloon!
Thank you to all who entered this great giveaway! Here is our winner:

I will decorate my cupcakes with fat strips of white frosting, cris crossing over the cake with eyes peeking out from under! Mummy cupcakes are the best!
Hopefully you will send us a photo of your completed mummy-cakes! Please email your mailing address to [email protected]. Thanks also to Peter Pauper Press for sponsoring this giveaway!
Three weeks until Halloween! Are you ready? If you haven’t started making your child’s costume I would say it is time to start! Wonder Time offers instructions on how to make the cute children’s cupcake costume, shown above. While the list of necessary products seems lengthy and the instructions are a bit involved, the end result will make it worth it if you little one is dying to be a cupcake!
Are you throwing a Halloween party this year? If you are, I think now’s the time to hurry and get your inviations out. I really like these Halloween cupcakes and cocktails invites from Etsy seller Flair Designery. I like that the invitations incorporate cupcakes but still have a grown up feel to them and they are affordable; the set of 24 invitations costs $24.00.
These creepy cupcake delights are from Ninas Kleiner Food Blog. The blog is in German, but the pictures tell the story!
Over the years Halloween has become one of my favorite holidays. I love the cooler weather, the colors and decorations, and most importantly the desserts. If I was going to a Halloween party this year I would without a doubt be making these buried skeleton cupcakes! I can just see little boys loving and little girls being grossed out by these cupcakes with decapitated skeletal parts! These cupcakes are actually pretty easy to make once you find the little skeletons. Add crushed chocolate wafers to your chocolate frosted cupcakes and you have the dirt. For detailed directions visit Holidash!
Do you send Halloween cards to loved ones who live far away? Or since this year Halloween is on a Monday will you be putting a card is a little ones lunch box? I think this Halloween cupcake greeting card is really fun and it’s available for $3.50 from Rock Scissors Paper. The outside asks “Trick or Treat?” and the inside says “Definitely a treat! Happy Halloween.” I would pick a treat, especially a cupcake, over a trick any day!

I found this baby cupcake costume at my local Marshalls. It’s really cute and would look great on a little baby, not to mention it’s only $12.99. While there is not guarantee that your Marshalls will have the costume, my store has several so hopefully yours will too!
While I was browsing Target.com, as I often do, I stumbled upon this remarkable cupcake find for Halloween! A few days ago another contributer here at ATC posted about a children’s cupcake costume at Kohl’s, which is super cute! For those of you that wished Kohl’s had offered this adorable children’s costume in adult sizes, like myself, and desire to dress as a giant cupcake this Halloween well thanks to Target here it is…
If anyone I know decides to throw a Halloween party this year I will be purchasing this to wear! I will add that Target states this is an online only item so I am betting it will go fast! Order yours now before it’s gone!
I agree with Carrie from Half Baked, I’m not a fan of rushing the holiday season but since Halloween products have been out since August I am ready for fall and Halloween! I love these cupcake liner witch hats that Carrie came up with. I usually choose decorations that are simple, easy, timesaving and impressive. These witch hats are just that, there is no labor intensive decorating involved. The complete instructions are on Half Baked and by complete I mean 5 steps!
Remember last year when we showed you Pottery Barn Teen’s Cupcake costume? Well they are offering it again this year and it’s available in teens, kids, toddlers and baby! To add to the Halloween fun they also have this cupcake doll costume so that the 18 inch doll can wear the cupcake costume! The outfit is on sale for $19.99 and the doll which is part of the girl doll collection is $39.00.
If you’re dressing a baby girl to Trick or Treat this fall, here’s another option for you! BabiesRUs offers this cupcake ensemble, designed to fit toddlers 9 to 12 months old. The costume costs $19.79, and the best part? It’s machine-washable!
Is it to early or have you started thinking about what you and your little ones are going to be for Halloween? Kohl’s already has Halloween items in their stores and online. I noticed this cupcake costume for little girls that costs $40.49. Only two sizes are left, 3-4 and 5-6 so if you’re thinking about ordering this, don’t wait!
In addition to being the unofficial end to summer, Labor Day must also be the day by which retailers aim to have their Halloween merchandise out. I noticed this weekend that most stores are ready for Halloween, which is still two months away! My sister just sent me a picture of these Halloween cupcake place-mats from Christmas Tree Shop. Since you can’t buy directly from The Christmas Tree’s website if you are interested in these it looks like you will have to go shopping!
It happens every year, most people have just barely finished their back to school shopping and stores already have their Halloween merchandise out. That is how I found out about these $10.00 Halloween decorative cupcakes that my mom spotted at her local TJMaxx/Homegoods and shared with me via text . While it seems early to be buying Halloween decorations (it’s not even fall yet), I will admit that I am ready for some pumpkin cupcakes!
LGM cupcakes
I remain an enthusiastic fan of Disney’s Toy Story series and its LGMs (the “Little Green Men”). Here is the classic out-take of LGMs with “the claw.”
Needless to say, this recipe for LGM cupcakes is a keeper in my book.
In fact, this Disney family website has an entire section of recipes with several terrific cupcake recipes such as Lightning McQueen from “Cars,” Jack Skellington from “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” Owl from “Winnie-the-Pooh,” panda bears from “Mulan,” and more.
Only three days left until Valentine’s Day and today I wanted to share with the most amazing Valentine cupcakes yet. This link comes to me from my sweet friend Nicole who is always on the lookout for amazing cuppies. Take a look at these chocolate cupcakes with flaming strawberries from Sprinkle Bakes.
The flame is made by hollowing out a strawberry and pouring in a small amount of Vodka, rum, or your choice of liquor 80 proof or higher before it is set aflame. Click here to read the full directions in their post.

Happy Halloween Everyone!
Today I thought I would bring you three great last minute Halloween Cupcake ideas! You may have heard of it already, but Zilly Rosen recently released her book Zombie Cupcakes in the UK. It is coming to America soon, but the best news is that you don’t have to wait as Made for Moms features three ideas complete with recipe and decoration directions! There are the Zombie Rising Chocolate Mud Cakes, the Brain Food Honey Cupcakes and last but not least the Bludgeon to Survive Pumpkin Cupcakes. Check out each of them by clicking on the links.
My favorite? I can’t go past the Bludgeon to Survive cupcakes shown here, especially as you need to make crowbars, baseball bats and shovels!
But alas, I have already made my cupcakes for this year, zombies with with chocolate ganache filling! Yummy!
Although this year I didn’t carve a pumpkin, if I had I know I would have attempted to carve it into a cupcake! Baking Bites did just that my carving a cupcake Jack-O-Lantern which has been titled, “I vant a cupcake.” On the website area few tips for anyone that wants to attempt carving their pumpkin into a cupcake!
The latest issue of the Hello, Cupcake What’s News letter features a Bootiful Mummy Cupcakes! The cupcakes which are by the creators of the Hello, Cupcake and What’s New Cupcake Cookbooks, have marshmallows hidden under red fruit roll-ups which looks like blood under the melted frosting. Gory, I know but it’s Halloween after all! For tips on how to make the mummy visit the candy corner and for help with the spider webs seen in the image below check out the technique of the month and for directions look below!
If you are completely done with all the traditional Halloween cupcakes, of ghosts, witches and pumpkins and are looking for something very different, why not take your inspiration from PepsiNZ and create horror movie cupcakes!
She went all out creating heaps of different cupcakes, but you could choose your favorite couple and go with a theme! I particularly love this one here!
You can see all the horror movie cupcakes on her website Random Crap here.
If you are, then taking a quick trip across to the Cupcake Cauldron might be the answer for you. Ashley’s blog is a mix of her current creations with a few great cupcake recipes thrown into the cauldron so to speak! But it is Halloween that she does best, and here are two of her creations.
These show how much magic you can create by just adding a topper! Of course the cupcake flavor choice is all important as well. Ashley has used vanilla cake with fudge frosting for Pumpkin and for Skull she used a devil’s food cake with a mini peanut butter cup on the inside and peanut butter frosting on top.
Can’t believe Halloween is now just over a week away!
Although it’s no longer available online, some Kohl’s stores still have the Halloween Cupcake Cookie Jar in stock. Be sure to check your local Kohl’s store soon before they are gone; keep in mind, Halloween is a little over a week away and the cookie jar is on sale!
