Mini Ghost Cupcakes
Halloween is just around the corner, and it is that time of the year again when you need to be creative not only when it comes to your costume and decorations but also the food that you are going to serve, especially when you are hosting a party. Instead of making dishes, candies, and other treats the traditional way, try to add a hint of Halloween to them.
Do not let your imagination stop you. You can have endless options. Again, you just have to use your creativity.
Whether you are hosting a huge party, a small one, or even a simple horror movie marathon, this Mini Ghost Cupcake recipe that I am going to share with you would be a perfect snack or dessert. The cupcakes are designed with “ghosts” – a little creepy, but I promise you, they will surely satisfy your sweet tooth. 🙂
This recipe requires store-bought mini cupcakes, so all you have to do is to decorate. You then have the freedom to choose a brand that you desire, something that you trust. Since you are utilizing ready-made cupcakes, preparing this Halloween treat would be a bliss. But if you have the luxury of time, you may also opt to make your very own cupcakes.
