Cool FREE Halloween Cupcake Ideas

Hey there! I found this really cool Halloween cupcake ideas guide. Some of the pictures are really insane! But, it gave me some good ideas for cupcakes. Here's one of their designs (and they have step by step visuals too). I don't think they'll mind that I put it up there. After all, it's free.

The PDF guide has a recipe for something called Royal Icing, which is pretty interesting. Instead of a regular buttercream frosting, it's made with egg whites or something called meringue powder (I found some at a cooking store).

The meringue makes the frosting really smooth and it dries slightly hard, so you can layer colors on top of each other.

Also, I went to the website for the cupcake ideas and there were a couple of cupcake recipes that look pretty good. I'll probably try them out this weekend.

And I started having cupcake parties with my friends, and it's really fun. So instead of sitting around watching TV, we listen to music, make cupcakes, and talk. We've had three different parties in the last month and every time we get better at making our designs. It's fun to see who can come up with the best designs! Give it a try.
