Ghost Cupcakes – Spooky ghouls for Halloween


It’ scary how simple these ghost cupcakes can be. Even young children can help you out in the kitchen with some of these cupcake ideas.

Cupcake KITCHen has a beautifully simple way to make the cupcakes look like ghostly faces. You can use simple royal icing or a vanilla buttercream frosting, before piping these faces on once it’s dry.

Very similar cupcakes are these ghost high hats by Bakingdom. Instructions for these cupcakes have been provided on their website.

A very cute version of these high hat ghosts, is this picture as featured by I AM THE CUPCAKE MONKEY of a little family of ghosts sitting on a cupcake.

With a little rolled icing and some royal icing you can make these flat topped ghost cupcakes. People at your Halloween party will be delighted to find your home made cupcakes underneath. These are by KABOOSE who has also provided a recipe for these cupcakes.

Finally, and my favourite, this cute little fella, perched on a mound of buttercream. Simple but effective. I think I’d also try and slip a marshmallow under his sheet as an added bonus to the cupcake eater. I found the picture of this flying ghost on mulatto diaries.

Vampire Cupcake Ideas, Perfect for Twilight and True Blood Fans – or Halloween!

Do you think you could every happily drink blood? No? How about if it was in cupcake form? I challenge you to not find these bloody creations mouth-watering.

Wet Paint features these blood splashed red velvet cupcakes (the vampire flavour of choice). It’s simple but effective, and the presentation on the plate is genius!

A very popular way to decorate a ‘vampire cupcake’ is to have make it look like a vampire bite with blood pouring out. I’ve not seen it done so well as these cupcakes by Sweet Avenue Bake Shop. Instead of the classic red velvet, they’ve gone for their own cherry liqueur flavour. If I lived near Rutherford I’d be right down there to buy my own!

A variation of this design is one that includes penny sweet fangs dripping with blood, or strawberry sauce. Simply Gluten Free not only created these, but have included a gluten free recipe with instructions for you to try at home.

If you would like the people eating your cakes to feel like vampires themselves, why not fill your cupcakes with a strawberry or cherry filling. Carly put this photo up on her blog Lightning Bug Watch Party. She has included links for recipes and instructions for filling the cupcake.

If you enjoy creating designs with sugarpaste, this is an effective idea in incorporating the fangs again. Baking and Caking on Flickr decorated this red and black wonder.

On a slightly different theme, how about making these vampire bat cupcakes with chocolate wings, as featured on the Ifood Blog.
