    So I wanted to get in one more fun Halloween treats before I move on to Thanksgiving and before you know it Christmas. Cupcakes are always easy and fun.  This year I did the Oreo Bat Halloween Cupcakes and the Halloween Monster Cake that came out so cute.  I'm sure my grandkids will love them all.  If you are having a party, the WITCHES BREW KID FRIENDLY HALLOWEEN PUNCH is always perfect.

    If I am making cakes or cupcakes I almost always use a cake mix. It just makes it so much easier. for these cupcakes, I used a yellow cake mix and some yellow and orange food coloring.

    Can I use a Different Flavor Cake?

    Yellow or white will work best for coloring, however, any flavor will work if you just want to color the frosting.

    Can I use Store Bought Frosting?

    Sure you could, I'm always on board for any short cuts. Buy a can or 2 of white frosting of your choice and color it yellow, orange, and white.

    STORING:- Will keep 4-5 days in an airtight container on the counter. I personally put everything in the freezer for later.
