I was just bumming around online and i stumbled across these lovely ingenious water bottles from CafePress. Perfect Christmas gift for the one cupcake lover that cant seem to get in all their water in one day!
Lovey7 writes in with her intricate take on Thanksgiving Cupcakes. The detail on the fruit toppers spilling out of the horn of plenty is very impressive.

Turkeys masquerading as other holidays!
Tis’ the season for Christmas Trees & Christmas Decorating! I spent a good part of my day yesterday buying Christmas Tree decorations, so in honor of this lovely season I thought I would find some Christmas Tree Cupcakes. They are from none other than Martha Stewart.
Enjoy!
These yummy turkey cupcakes are submitted by Lisa Griswold.
I made these cupcakes for Thanksgiving. The turkeys are “drawn” with chocolate on wax paper and then flipped over to reveal a cute and edible cupcake topper!
Happy Holidays!
Fantastic! Here is another examples of chocolate art. More here at Instructables on how to make your own chocolate painting.
Hi there! Yesterday I made Sweet Potato cupcakes using fresh baked yams, and topped them with mounds of roasted marshmallows! I used the sweet potato cupcake recipe in Martha Stewart’s Cupcake book! My grandma ALWAYS makes sweet potatoes with marshmallows on Thanksgiving, so i figured this would be a perfect fall treat for my family and friends! I attached a picture to this email!-Holli Risvold
Hello Sugar his already in the holiday spirit with several holiday cupcake images on their website that look amazing. I think my personal favorite is the snowman. They kept him simple and traditional but still managed to include a lot of detail. I also like that they use edible glitter. I always loved it when my mom did food styling jobs that included edible glitter, something about it is fun to me. According to the website the cupcakes are Callebaut chocolate cupcakes with dark chocolate chips and peppermint buttercream which sounds delicious!

As I was picking up the mail yesterday I found one of my Favorite Catalogs in my mail box, The Lakeside Collection . I love this catalog but I loved this one even more. The whole front cover is advertising all cupcake items!
This is what the cover looks like;
The 2 items that are on the front cover are these 2 items …
AND
These are great gifts for all the aspiring cupcake bakers both young and old out there!
Enjoy!
At the end cupcakes costumes are overwhelmingly sweet.
Just wanted to share pictures of my daughter’s cupcake costume (instructions from the Food Network). Thought you would get a kick out of it. I thought it was the most original costume I saw all night…maybe I’m a little biased! ;-)

Hello! My daughter was thrilled with her cupcake costume this year, and to have Mommy as her baker!:)
The costume was custom made by Brittany sweetplume.etsy.com
The Pink Sprinkles Cupcakes Earrings were custom by SaintsNSinners.etsy.com
Cupcake Tote(for trick or treating): lmgboutique.etsy.com
My Cupcake Party Hat: tiffytart.etsy.comEnjoy!:)
First I bought yardage of felt online in light pink and brown, I laid out some guesstimations as to how wide I wanted the diameter of the ‘icing’ to drape outward and the skirt length/volume of the ‘ripples’ for the cup. The rest thereafter was just taking things in to fit perfectly. Also, to add more cupcake volume/goodness, I added a second and third layer of ‘icing’ that would tie on across the bust and back. Felt is a very forgiving fabric and was so fun to work with! I topped off the ‘icing’ with an array of complimentary colored jimmies to complete the ensemble! And lastly, I created a fabulous headband with a giant, bead-adorned strawberry; whipped cream frills and a white ribbon burst for a touch of girly-charm.

Some cupcakes do scare me: super dry cake with face crushingly sweet frosting. These dear readers find their own scary cupcakes. One in a Tim Burton inspired creation, the second as the victim to those seeking her sweetness!
I am an avid follower of the website and I have a huge cupcake obsession that is constantly fueled by the amazing cupcakey goodness I find there! I live in the UK and cupcakes are not as celebrated here as I think they should be. So, with this in mind, I decided to make a personal homage to the cupcake with a Tim Burton-esque cupcake costume for Halloween! It is entirely handmade, from the purple glittery cherry on my head to the handmade bows on my shoes! This is my first attempt at a handmade costume and I was so proud of my efforts that I wanted to share them with All Things Cupcake and fellow cupcake fans.
I hope you like it!

So, not only do I have a cupcake tattoo (that you’ve featured) I went all out on a big cupcake costume for halloween. At each bar I went to, the doormen were sending people to find me because they thought my costume was just so incredible. Embarrassing and flattering, especially when I was wearing a laundry basket as the base of the cupcake. – Kelly from NY
It isn’t the materials that make a memorable costume,
it is the imagination and soul!
I got cupcake necklace & resin cupcakes at Etsy & glued to sunglasses. Made my hat myself out of styrofoam. I also make the dogs costumes myself also out of styrofoam & lampshades. The real looking cupcakes I made out of insulating foam in a can. – Lisa from Huntington Beach CA (more pics)
Thanks for the inspiration! I finally got to the fabric store and rigged up this cupcake costume for my adorable niece. There’s a pink headband with a cherry on top; we’ll see if she actually manages to keep that on for trick-or-treating. – Laura
Made from recycled materials, nothing was bought. enjoy :) – M.Peralta
Thank you readers for the Halloween cupcake submissions. We are always happy to hear from you! Unfortunately, I received so many that not all of them can be posted, but I will do my best to post throughout this week the best reader cupcakes I have received!

I know this submission is kind of late, but I thought I would share anyway. I made rainbow cupcakes with Jack Skellington frosting. I know rainbows and halloween don’t usually go together, but I can’t help it, I love any and everything colorful and cupcake and I adore Nightmare Before Christmas, so I just combined my loves into a colorful and cute treat. I also have a cupcake tattoo on my foot.
Love your blog, thanks!

Love the blog!! Here are my Halloween Cupcake Creations. :) I thought they turned out great and wanted to share with you too. – Vanessa
I just wanted to post real quick about the amazing Cupcake Costume on the Ellen Degeneres Show this Morning! It definitly looked like she jumped in an Extra Extra Extra Large foil cupcake wrapper! She was dancing and everything in it. Kellie Pickler who was on the show even mentioned something about how cute it was. I tried finding a picture of it online but i couldnt :-(
But i just wanted to share it with you all!
****UPDATE****
Thanks to our lovely reader we have found a picture of the cupcake. It is just a screen shot so it isnt the best picture in the world but here it is.
Thanks Erika!!!!
Halloween inspires fear in us… and fear motivates us to innovate? ATC is happy to celebrate the creativity of its readers this Halloween season. Here is a halloween cupcake idea sent in by Erin from Sandy, UT:
I just wanted to tell you how much i love your site and share a cute halloween cupcake idea with all of your readers. My boyfriend Chris and i love to make rainbow/tie-dye cupcakes, so to celebrate the season we put i little twist on the traditional look.
We used the Betty Cocker Neon Gel Food Coloring to get all of these awesome colors(even the green for the icing)
All you need is a boxed white cake mix made according to the instructions. then divide the batter up in to separate bowls and dye each bowl a different color.
Spoon a little bit of each color into a cupcake liner to get the cute layered look then bake according to the box. these cupcakes are always a big hit and very fun to make.

I will give all my thanks to my friend Laura for sending me this link about Irish Cupcakes. I spent three weeks in Ireland and I am sure if I were to taste these cupcakes it would bring me right back to the lovely feeling I had while I was there. These Guinness and Bailey’s Cupcakes came from the website Irish Central. Click HERE for the recipe!
My husband and I decided that our baby girl (Avalon, 7 months) would be a cupcake for her first Halloween. I needed some ideas and found your website! I bought her a knitted cupcake hat from Etsy, made her a cupcake shirt and pants (cupcake iron-ons), and since she is too young to walk, turned her stroller into a giant cupcake. Thank you for your website and inspiration!
Thank you for sharing with step-by-step photos of such a innovative concept! – ATC

There’s a goblin at my window,
A monster by my door.
The pumpkin at my table
Keeps on smiling more and more.
There’s a ghost who haunts my bedroom,
A witch whose face is green.
They used to be my family,
Till they dressed for Halloween.

As Halloween approaches, we are all gearing up for this special day!
hi there! my husband and I came up with this cupcake monster pumpkin, after our daughter, Brooklyn, whom we lovingly refer to as our cupcake. enjoy! mai and david
Spider cupcakes submitted by Colleen. Do you dare to eat them?
I know some of these ideas have been shared before but it’s always helpful to see alternatives to help you come up with your own unique variations. Here are the M&M versions of Halloween cupcakes that are always fun because everything is edible and when it comes to kids and decorating candy is always best. These are some ideas that are great for individuals.
For larger parties, these are sure to be crowd pleasers:
A Creepy Crawly Creature
Giant Pumpkin
Dean & Deluca two delicious looking cupcake options for this fall. One of which is a set of nine cupcakes, which means you get three of each flavor for $55.00. The flavor options include pumpkin with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, chocolate with chocolate buttercream, and Madagascar bourbon vanilla with vanilla buttercream.
Dean & Deluca’s second option are little cupcakes are made out of white, milk, and dark chocolate that come with three filling options. Those options include chestnut caramel, spiced pumpkin, and maple walnut. The set comes with nine cupcake chocolates for $48.00.
Being the cupcake baker that I am I LOVE the Witon Website and I also follow them on Facebook and todays post was great. It is these Circle of Sorcery Cake and Cupcakes.
Wilton does a great job of telling you exactly what you need and exactly how to do it.
This would be a lovely addition to any Halloween Celebration!
As a followup to the Halloween Cupcake Party with owl motif post, I came across this Owl Cupcake design from emily at My Muffin Thursday blog.
These little owls are so adorable! All you need are oreos, candy corn, and Reese’s Pieces. Full recipe and instructions available at My Muffin Thursday.
Stonewall Kitchen’s mini Halloween candles make perfect cupcake toppers. They are simple, fun, and most importantly festive. You can choose between candy corns which cost $11.95 or bats for $12.95. Each set contains 16 candles that are 1 inch in size. I think they would look great on top of Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.
Halloween is coming quickly and if you are still looking for a centerpiece, this cupcake decorating and display kit from Hearth Song might interest you. The Haunted Mansion Party Pack consists of a cardboard cupcake stand topped with a haunted looking house. There are also 24 graveyard fence style wrappers and 24 moon and haunted house toothpick toppers. The pack is purchased as a whole for $16.98.
I came across this while looking for cupcake costumes and while it’s not exactly a cupcake it still claims to be a cupcake costume. This is a cupcake chef costume, so instead of being what’s eaten, this time around you could be the baker of the sweet culinary concoction.
When I came across these I immediately wondered, “why didn’t I think of that?” For years my family has been making tie-dye style angel food cakes and this summer I made red, white, and blue vanilla bean cupcakes for my sister’s return to the US from a summer in Ireland. But I Heart Cuppy Cakes put me to shame by coming up Candy Corn Cupcakes last October. The recipe if extra easy if you decide to make your cupcakes semi-homemade by using a box cake mix.
