Scary Halloween Decorations

Scary Halloween Cupcake DecorationsExecutive Summary about scary halloween decorations by Lynette Bell

Would Halloween feel right without the spiders, bats, ghosts and witches of folklore...? What you will need for these decorations are cupcakes made with your favorite recipe, butter cream icing, a few large black jelly beans, licorice bootlace, licorice strap and food coloring in red and orange, plus white decorating gel. The quantities will depend on how many scary cupcakes you plan to decorate.
To make scary spider cupcakes prepare your cupcake top with butter cream colored with red food coloring. In the center of the cupcake place a large jelly bean for the spider body. Cut a further jelly bean in half and place the cut side facing down at one end of the body. Add a couple of dabs of white decorating gel to form eyes. With licorice bootlace cut eight pieces to form the legs. Rather than placing the licorice flat on the cupcake try arching each leg from the body to form a little half loop. For bat attack cupcake decoration ice the cupcake with orange colored butter cream. Cut licorice straps to form the wings of the bat by scalloping one side of the strap and rounding one end of the other side for wing tips. Place this on either side of the jelly bean. Make a couple of fluffy clouds with the decorating gel.
Let your imagination run wild both with ingredients for decorations and with the designs -- why not let your scary Halloween cupcakes form a table centerpiece?
