cupcakes...

Last week Armandzraven's sister asked if he would make some desserts to donate to their school. The school was putting together a fund raiser by asking parents to donate homemade desserts to sell so the kids could have a Halloween party on of course Halloween. So he made a sugar-free lemon cake with sugar-free frosting, cinnamon rolls, and cupcakes.

About a week earlier I had bought the Martha Stewart Holiday Halloween Special magazine. Her magazines are always full of ideas. In this one there were ideas on how to make cupcakes fit for a Halloween party.

So he made all the desserts and then I helped him decorate the cupcakes to look like witches and used the idea on the magazine as reference. We skipped the licorice that the magazine suggested for the hair and eyebrows and instead just piped out the hair and eyebrows for the witches from chocolate frosting. We also used Hershey's Kissables instead of M&M's for the eyes as their little peaks make better for sticking into the cupcake. Our cupcake witches did not come out as perfect as the ones pictured on the magazine, but they were good enough, and that's a good thing. :)

Around noon we dropped off the desserts at his sister's. It was fun putting the witch cupcakes together. This was this past Saturday, 10/20/2007.
