Hubble bubble toil and trouble.......
Halloween is celebrated on the 31st October night and it’s an old festival which dates back to the ancient Celtics of Ireland, United Kingdom and Northern France. It was believed by the Celts on the Hallowe’en Eve, the living and the dead would mingle together on earth. Bringing festivities forward too today activities include, bobbing apples, trick or treat, carving jack- o- lanterns, ghost stories and spooky films to scare you witless and costume parties with spooky food etc.
For this month’s bake here at S&SB, we thought it would be in seasonal keeping putting our creative sides to work in baking up a storm of Spooktacular - Halloween -Cupcakes.
Here is where the fun begins for all us S&SB bakers; use the cupcake sponge recipe and then create your own design of toppings and decorations to make your cupcakes as spooky as you dare! There is no limit of what you desire to cover your cupcakes in be it buttercream, fondant icing etc, spooky decorations and colours, let your creative imagination juices flow into the greatest spooktacular cupcakes ever – we dare you to scare us here at S&SB with your cupcake creations!!!!!
The recipe can be found here.
If you have any questions or queries, please leave a comment under the recipe. Maria and I will endeavour to reply as soon as possible.
If you are a food blogger, we ask that you kindly write a post about your bake and link back to us @ Sweet and Simple Bakes. Let us know that you completed the bake and we'll list all the blogs that accomplished the bake. If you don't have a food blog and care to share how it went, feel free to contact us at sweet2simple[at]googlemail[dot]com
The posting date for Spooktacular - Halloween Cupcakes is the 1st November.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone’s entry and hopefully for another magnificent round-up!
Happy fang-tastic baking Everyone!

Who doesn't like cupcakes? Thanks for the lovely theme and shall try to find something to spook you with. BTW do I have to post on the 1st of November?
oooh - this is scary! :) never tried fondant or decorating of any kind! :S
i hope the cupcakes will look scary (in a good way!)
What great fun - I'm so sorry that the reveal date conflicts with Recipes to Rival
Hi Nickki, great news pleased you like the fun theme this month :)
Hi Ivy, Oh yes the more spooktacular the better :) It would be great if you could manage to post on the 1st sweetie.
Hi Arundathi, you can cover your cupcakes in anything you care to use e.g. butter icing - glaze icing, chocolate etc you don't have to use fondant icing and the decoration is entirely up to you :)
Hi Giz, oh what a pity reveal date conflicts. You'll be sadly missed in our bake this month but hopefully you will be able to join us the next time? :)
Best wishes Rosie x
What a cool idea! Do we have to join to be able to participate?
I was already planning to try something out...now an even bigger reason to be creative! :)

Hi Jennifer, we are an open blog here at S&SB, anyone and everyone can join in a bake and we welcome new people with open arms who wish to join us in our bakes. We don’t expect everyone to join in our bakes every month as life doesn’t always allow us. All we ask is if you have a blog and bake with us is to post your bake on your blog on posting day and link back to this site. Maria and I hope you will be able to join us with our Halloween bake this month and many thanks for calling by to visit us :D
Best wishes Rosie & Maria x
