Halloween is near and there is no better way to celebrate than with a cupcake! This year why not skip the bakery and whip up something frightfully decadent to share? Your family and friends are going to love these 25 Halloween cupcakes, and you are going to appreciate how easy these are to make thanks to the well written instructions these recipes offer!
From creepy cupcakes that look like brains but taste like a dream to cupcakes that look like ghosts and are totally boo-tiful, this list has something for everyone on it. Picking just one to try from this list of 25+ Halloween Cupcakes that Friends will Love will be the true challenge. I am crazy about the egg free, dairy free and completely creepy eyeball cupcakes and Cauldron cupcakes are delicious and frightfully festive.

Inspiration for adorable cupcakes for your Halloween party
If you’re looking for inspiration for adorable cupcakes for your Halloween party, look no further. These 25 Halloween cupcake ideas will have your friends “ooh-ing” and “ahh-ing” over your creativity, and they will be the hit of the party. Even better, perfection is overrated with these cupcakes; if you make a mistake, it adds to the character. So pull out your decorating supplies and have some fun!
If you are taking cupcakes to a party, or just spreading spooky cheer to your family, I think everyone will appreciate any of these! Not that there’s anything wrong with a standard orange iced cupcake with sprinkles, but these ideas really take things to the next step! Not all of the recipes are creepy, so there will be plenty of options to meet your cupcake needs this Halloween.
Halloween Dessert
Cupcakes are the perfect Halloween dessert – they are portion-controlled (though it’s hard to eat only one!), they are a blank canvas to decorate however your heart desires, and they are easier to transport and display than a full cake. That makes them a ghoulishly great treat for your Halloween festivities.
My kids and love to decorate Halloween cupcakes. We’d set aside a Saturday afternoon and gather around the dining room table, trying to top each other with scary or creative ideas. I’d mix up a bunch of colours of buttercream icing, buy red and green gel icing, throw in pretzels, mini-Oreos, and any other appropriate décor I could find, and off we’d go. Some of them turned out to be masterpieces only a mother could love, but we had a great time!
I can’t wait to hear which of these Halloween cupcake recipes is your favourite! I have made a few of these recipes and I plan to make a few more to make this year extra delicious!
