Halloween Bakes

I wasn't quite sure how this years Halloween baking was going to come along. I just kind of went the ol' fashioned route and decided to bake and decorate some cupcakes and cookies. Here are my final products! I dunno what it is about Halloween that gets me all in the creative spirit, but I simply had to make each cupcake unique... and here there are...


Kooky Old-man-esque cookie... yup that's a cashew nose


Was supposed to be a pumpkin man... then he turned into a pink, punk, pumpkin dude


Cute Spider. I used Pocky vegetable sticks, M&M's and chipits


This one kind of reminds me of Doraemon. I used Pocky vegetable sticks, a tic-tac, a chipit and two mini fuzzy-peaches for his eyes.


Monster Cyclops Star Thing. There's an M&M, regular candy corn, caramel candy corn, cinnamon-apple candy corn, and gummy vampire teeth


Green-horned cyclops. I used lime-tootsie rolls, tic-tacs and gave him an M&M + chipit eye


The Green-eyed monster. I used a marshmallow, colored coconut shreds, lime-tootsie rolls and an M&M

Random Graveyard of Randomness. There's oreo crumbs, coconut shreds, a pumpkin and two gummy ghosts.

Hehe.... one of my faves! The "shrunken head" cupcake. I used a marshmallow, chipits, and a Pocky stick.

The Purple Monster named Bob. Hmm... you can probably guess what I used to make him.


This one's got the wink down to an art. There's a chocolate skittle, vampire teeth, a pocky stick and a face-down gummy ghost for the winking eye! Who wouldn't love a face like that?!

Woah! That was fun eh? I think I have a thing for vampire teeth. They make awesome decorations for monster cupcakes. I also made a couple of the dirt (oreo crumbs) + gummy worms/spiders cupcakes. But I figure you've seen enough of those there's no need for pictures. Happy Halloweening everyone... get lots of candy (or in my case, go to Safeway and buy a lot of discount candy on Nov 1st!) and enjoy brushing your teeth all night long :P

Cute cupcakes! You are so creative, I would've never thought of designing them with all the different sorts of candies and snacks. They all look so original!

I just discovered your blog and saw your adorable Halloween cupcakes. I wish I'd seen them earlier, oh well there's next year. I can't wait to show your pictures to my granddaughter. Thanks for the original idea.
