Love these easy peasy cupcakes for Halloween!
Start with your favorite cake recipe, or even a boxed cake mix will do fine.
Whip up a batch of buttercream icing and divide in three. Leave one batch white, color one batch yellow, and color the last batch orange.
Using tip # 1A by Wilton pipe a layer of yellow icing on each cupcake
add a layer of orange icing starting just inside the edge of the yellow
finally top with a layer of white icing, again starting just inside the edge of the orange
Voila!
Easy as 1, 2 3!

Ooohhh…please put my name in the hat!
I have so enjoyed reading your posts. I haven’t commented as much as I would have liked to but I have been reading your every post. There are several recipes that you’ve posted that I want to try. Now that 31 days of posting has eased up maybe I’ll get around to trying some. There seem to always be someone willing to try a new baking item. 🙂
I’ve subscribed to your blog.
I love that your blog has evolved – and that you listened to your heart about what you will blog about!! When you do that, you will love it and it will show in every blog you write!! I look forward to all the things you will be whiping up!!!
I love that you changed what you were blogging about – I really do believe that it should be right form the heart, because then you will be happy and it will come out in your writing.
Way to follow your heart – plus – YUM – look at all the goodness that we would be missing out on if you didn’t!! 🙂
These are perfect cupcakes for Halloween or fall. You have done a great job with the 31 days of baking and I look forward to future blogs. I know they will always be interesting.
I love the cupcakes, so cute!! And I’d LOVE to be the winner of your giveaway…
Maureen, I have enjoyed your blog very much this month and am very proud of your month of baking! I’ve put your blog on my favorites list and you are part of my morning rituals now. However, I believe that I’ve gained 5 lbs just looking at the beautiful pictures. Well Done! Take care,

These cupcakes are so sweet, but WHO is eating all these baked goods?! If we had a month’s worth of delicious looking sweets in our house we wouldn’t be able to fit through the doors. 🙂
Thankfully Jayme, The Mr’s co-workers have been very eager and cooperative taste testers!! Not much stays at the house!
I have enjoyed your 31 days of baking so much!! Thank you for all you hard work!
