Spooktacular - Halloween - Cupcakes

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!
