Balancing Beauty and Bedlam because I have a great cupcake recipe to share with you for Halloween. Please visit these two very talented ladies later to view all of the mouthwatering recipes from the other participants. Thank you ladies for hosting this fun event!
Last weekend we had an Octoberfest block party in our neighborhood. I was asked to make some cupcakes for the event and after searching the internet for some ideas, I came up with these:
Hmmm....not the best photos but you get the idea! These were taken very early in the morning so I am showing both pictures - with flash and without flash. I made these beauties at 4:00 in the morning before I left for work so that my hubby could take them to the party - hence the rush job on the lettering! The kiddos didn't seem to mind though :-)
So simple to make and not too scary for the little ones! They were a huge hit and disappeared quickly.
If I were to make these again I would probably use a different frosting for the word"Boo". The gel icing wasn't thick enough and made it kind of messy to eat.
The "tombstones" were made with NutterButter Cookies
I dipped them in melted white chocolate. You could probably use the Milano cookies from Pepperidge Farms instead if you wanted to leave them plain.
These cupcakes are so rich because I used my favorite cupcake recipe - you could always use a mix from a box for these as well.
Here is my very favorite cupcake recipe - I am sure they will be your favorite too. They have cream cheese and chocolate chips in the middle of them - yummy!

GREAT!!! idea. Geri
These may not be "quite" as healthy as the Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins, but I'm very sure they are just as good.
May God continue to give you the strength you need, to do all that you do. The Devil doesn't stand a chance with you, since your hands are never idle.
Hi Beginner,
That made me giggle :-)
I agree - they are definitely not as healthy as the banana muffins I posted. I guarantee they are worth every calorie though :)
As for the staying idle part. I used to love to have down time - I forgot what that is like now. When I DO have time to sit back and veg my mind is racing to the next project! I WISH I could learn to relax more - even when I am supposed to be sleeping I will wake up and think about the day ahead. At times it can be SO annoying :-)
((Hugs to you my friend))
