To make your week easier, I will be doing at least one post a day dedicated to all things Halloween. As a result, today's first post is dedicated to those yummy desserts we so crave. Hopefully these pictures inspire you to create your own delicious treats.
Delightful Pumpkins
A Spider Spins His Tale
One, Two, Three Chocolate Headstones
The last three are quick desserts I came up with for a Halloween Party at work. They are very easy to make if you get in a time crunch. For the Pumpkin Cupcake Toppers, I bought orange candy melts from Michael's (or was it Hobby Lobby?) and a chocolate mold. You simply follow the directions on the package and let them harden overnight before placing on top. Then using green buttercream icing, you can pipe a few leaves or even use a grass tip for the topping.
The Spiderweb Cupcake Toppers were also made using candy melts, except I piped a spiderweb on a parchment paper and then let it dry overnight. The next day, simply place them on top of your cupcake with a spider.
The Headstone Cake Toppers in the last picture were done the exact same way as the Pumpkin Toppers, just using regular melting chocolate and a chocolate mold I found at my local craft store. Then place some spiders around the headstones in various sizes and you have a Halloween themed cake! All three were incredibly easy to make. So if you get in a bind, don't stress. Just head to your local craft store and make a couple of toppers. No one has to know how much work you did or didn't do. ;)
