American Thanksgiving Cupcakes – Pilgrims, Pumpkins and Poultry!


Now, I this is an interesting post for me to do as I am not American, therefore I have never celebrated Thanksgiving. However, given how much I love Christmas dinner, I do feel like I’m missing out! As if you’re not getting enough food on the day, take a look to see if you fancy recreating any of these cupcake decorating ideas.

Then we have these beautiful little pumpkin topped frosting spirals upon cupcakes. The pumpkin looks like it is made of sugarpaste with a green swirl of royal icing from a piping bag. You could use a Jaffa (Cadburys chocolate) for the pumpkin if they are available in your country. By apuch on Flickr

This is a mini stroke of genius, using a Reece’s peanut butter cup and Oreo cookie base to make a Pilgrim Hat. Not only has easycupcakes made them, but they have also provided instructions so that you can bake these cupcakes yourself!

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.

Alcohol Themed Cupcakes with Beer, Wine, Champagne and Cocktail Ideas

Now this blog is for cupcake decorating ideas,  so we’ll be focusing on the decorating of alcohol themed cupcakes, rather than the recipes. However, at the end of the blog I have added some links to other sites if you are looking for an alcohol themed recipe too.

Lets start with beer, a great decoration to “man up” a cupcake. Have a look at these cupcakes for Oktoberfest made by Clemmer Cupcakes

And these 3d beer mug cupcakes by annits on Cake Central are brilliant.

Here is a very cute idea for wine fans, a little wine bottle and a bunch of grapes. By Cupcake Challenge

On a similar theme, Cupcake Woman has made a champagne bottle complete with bubbles, great for a celebration event.

These cocktail glasses cupcakes are by asa Hello Sugar! On Flickr.

A very Sex In The City version of the cocktail glass cupcake are these cocktail silhouette cupcake toppers by Death by Cupcake (link takes you to a page where you can purchase them)

The two key points to the presentation of a cupcake are the colours and the garnish. These cupcakes by A Scarborough Blog have used these two points in a simple but fun way.

And finally, the perfect accessory for a cocktail cupcake is the cocktail umbrella, used perfectly by Tori Jayne with these cocktail cupcakes also presented in coloured glasses to make a perfect presentation.
