The Wicked Witches and Spiders

This post was intended to celebrate Halloween day. It is about 6 months late now but still worth to be posted. These cupcakes were my project with Nathan. We searched through Ms. Stewart’s website and Nathan chose to do the wicked witches. He had lots of fun cutting the hair, dipping the sugar, and of course eating the “eyes” chocolates. The expression on the cuppies were his ideas. Thank you honey

The thing that both of I and Nathan don’t like is the licorice. No offense to the licorice fans but YUUUCCKKK. They taste like a cough medicine. The licorice was intended for decorations only. We licked them and store it for future use. Hahaha… kidding…

Ingredients

• One Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes
• Swiss Meringue Butter cream, tinted into 2 different colours (green and reddish, or anything you like)
• Tinted caster sugar
• Black colour gel
• M&M’s chocolates
• Black licorices
• Small pointy ice cream cones

Instructions

1. For tinted caster sugar: place enough caster sugar in a ziplock bag. Using a toothpick, take a dip in the colour gel and apply to the caster sugar. Mix the colour to the sugar by pressing and shaking them. Add the colour a little at the time as you needed.
2. To decorate the witches cupcakes and the spider cupcakes, refer to my pictures (It is much harder for me to explain how to than to look at the pictures)
