I like to use Halloween cupcake ideas when I am decorating my cupcakes. It's never too early to begin planning your Halloween party menu...I find new ideas all year long. Sometimes I find a great, scary food idea in a magazine or cookbook. Some I find on web sites and some I actually discover as I am making a new recipe for my family. Any time I see a new food or spice I can use with my Halloween cupcake decorating ideas I write it in the Halloween section of my recipe file...and I put it right on the first card in that section so I know exactly where my new decorating ideas are. I used to stick it in the file under the food name, but I couldn't remember where I put it when I wanted to try using it in a gory looking food dish.

I love cupcakes and that's why I always focus on them for my Halloween desserts. They are quick, easy, fun to make and easy to find decorating ideas for. You can use candy, bubble gum, or store bought decorations to make a fun dessert for your costume party. Your party guests will be so amazed when they see the scary food ideas you have combined to make the worst, best Halloween buffet table they have ever seen!

Scary cupcake ideas are simple. How about making a giant spider on top, or a one eyed monster...like in Monsters vs Aliens! There are great tools to use when you are decorating cupcakes. Picks with a funny or scary ghost on them or a picture of your favorite monster, like Frankenstein or Count Dracula. There are also fairies, like Tinkerbell, or cute little pumpkins. These picks are very easy to use, just insert them into your cake. You're done...see how easy it is.

There are also edible images you can buy. These edible images are made on frosting or rice paper and you can put any picture or character you like on them. You just place these on the frosted cake and once again, you are done. Another very easy cupcake decorating idea and you don't even have to know what your doing to make these look great! You can buy little plastic spiders, or spiders made out of sugar, if you really like the spider idea.

One of my favorite and fun cupcake decorating ideas is to make your own design out of candies you can buy at the corner store. Chocolate chips or M & M's make great eyes, or if you like they sell gummy eyeballs around Halloween, so use them. They look great. You can use red frosting or gel in a tube to make your eyeball cupcake look like it's a little bloodshot. That will make it look scarier. You can use a mini vanilla wafer coated in chocolate as a spider body and some black string licorice as spider legs.

The best part is once you begin to design your own cupcakes, whether you use picks, edible toppers or candies, you get more ideas on how to do things. Stick pretzels become legs, white icing with a chocolate chip in the middle becomes an eye...before you know it, you are going to see cupcake decorating ideas everywhere!

Go bake a batch of cupcakes, get some candies and frosting and see what you can come up with. It's fun, it's cheap and it's a great way to spend some real quality time with your kids. By the time October rolls around you are going to have so many Halloween cupcake ideas, you are going to have to sign up as your kid's Class Mother and host some school parties, to use all your ideas!
