LovenCupcakes

It seems like the end of October is almost here, and I have already been getting my fill of delicious Halloween candies and cupcakes.  The other day our church held a Fall Festival and I helped plan the kids’ cupcake walk.  Some of the cupcakes brought in were so cute.  Bugs, ghosts, pumpkins, and mummies topped off the cupcakes that were individually wrapped for the little ones playing in the cupcake walk.  With that large assortment of ideas, I wanted to share some fun ideas for cupcakes with you all, and I figured I could even give you instructions for the cupcake walk for kids. Or, for the adults add some hot stuff!

Cupcake Walk

• Now, you have probably seen a cake walk where it is like a game of musical chairs and whoever is left standing when the music is turned off is out.  Well, the cupcake walk is a great way to let all the kids have a chance to win.
• You will need 10 paper plates, 20 animal pictures printed from online (10 animals, two copies of each), a glue stick, and scissors.  Glue one set of the animals to the paper plates and cut out the copies to go into a hat or bucket for you to pick out of.
• To play the game, arrange the plates in a circle on the ground.  Play music.  When the music stops the kids stop at the plate where they landed.  Draw an animal image from the bucket and call out the animal type.  Whoever is at that animal wins!  You can either put aside the drawn image and pick up the plate or let a child join in the fun.  It’s easy and kids love it.

Fun Cupcake Ideas

These brain cupcakes are not only spooky, but they look so easy.  Just pipe on the icing in the center and the sides for a creepy brainy cupcake.  Kids and zombies will love these treats.

Can you tell I’m looking for ease here?  The ghost cupcakes are darling, and it is just a nutter butter covered in white icing with a face iced on it.  Not a good idea if you know kids with peanut allergies will be present, and if you don’t know you can use some of the other ideas just to be safe.

Licorice hair, candy corn nose, and a chocolate cone and you’ve got yourself a delicious looking witch!
