Good evening to you all, my loyal and devoted minions!
Today I bought a wonderful cupcake pan that makes ghost topped cupcakes. So, being that it is October, the best month in the whole year, I decided to make some ghostly cupcakes for my family and I.
I got the cupcake pan at Michael's for $7.99 . . . a real bargain if you ask me.
Then I kind of cheated and I used Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge cake mix and Pillsbury White Vanilla Frosting. But, in my own defense, I did add some pure orange oil extract to the cake mix to make it more interesting. (And believe me, it is delicious!!!)
I also bought some tubes of orange and black glitter gel for decorating. I lined each ghost, gave them little smiley faces, and wrote "BOO" across each one.
Then, I had a bunch of batter left over, so I just put it in a regular cupcake pan and made simple round cupcakes. But I frosted them in white then used the glitter gel to outline each one and write "BOO" across those as well . . . had to keep with the theme don't ya know!
Even if you aren't baking from scratch, you can still have fun with boxed mixes. Try it next time you make a cake or cupcakes. Throw in a nice flavored extract and see what you get. (I noticed they had peanut Butter extract too. I think that would be AWESOME in chocolate cookies!)
