3 Halloween Cupcake Ideas

Posted on October 8, 2023June 14, 2024 By Becky

008004001

Now we’re in October (Whaaaat?!) I think it’s totally acceptable to start posting about all things Autumn and Halloween. When I started this little blog last October, I did several posts on how to make some rather funky (if I do say so myself!), Halloween cupcake recipe ideas.

They are still some of my most pinned ‘pins’ on Pinterest, and I still get lots of blog traffic from them, so I figured they are obviously fairly popular and it might be good to group them up into one post, and then if anyone likes the look of one they can pootle off to each individual post! Each of these cupcake recipes is SO easy to make, and you need very little in terms of fancy ingredients to make a success of them.

Great for a party, and are so much fun for even quite little children to make!

Looking for spooky under-the-water themed cupcakes? These Sinister Sea Monster cupcakes are great fun for a party!

Looking to add some spooky atmosphere to your Halloween party food table? These Gruesome Graveyard cupcakes are the perfect sweet treat to add to your spread!

Not a fan of spiders? These fangtastic spider cupcakes might give some of your guests a fright if they end up on your Halloween party table any time soon! A great mix of sweet icing and jelly sweets for legs, these cupcakes are also super simple to prep and decorate.
