These witch cupcakes might look scary, but they are also a delicious treat for children and adults alike. The perfect cake over the Halloween season, these cupcakes can have an exciting effect at children’s parties, work, or school. Let’s take a look at how to make them.
Step 1: Bake Cupcakes
First, you need to make sure you have some cakes. Bake ordinary sponge cupcakes in the oven and leave them to cool. These can be vanilla sponge or chocolate, it all depends on the effect you want to go for. Personally, we think chocolate cake goes better with the overall effect of the witches’ hats.
Step 2: Apply Frosting
Next, frost the cupcakes with buttercream. The buttercream can be lots of different colors, and again you can be creative with it. Greens and oranges are often good at portraying the Halloween feel.
Step 3: Make the Point of the Hat
To make the point of the witches’ hat, take a cupcake liner and fold it in half twice. Tape the two side flaps together so that it forms a solid wedge shape. Fold the wedge in half and tape again until you have a cone. This will be the point of the hat.
Step 4: Complete the Witches Hat Cupcakes
Insert a cocktail stick into the frosted cupcake and place the cone onto it. This is the pointy top of the hat. Then, take another cupcake liner, cut a hole in the middle, and place it over the cone. And that’s it—you have witches cupcakes for any Halloween occasion!
