How to Make Halloween Witch Cupcakes
Full Recipe:  preppykitchen.com/halloween-witch-cupcakes/
My witch cupcakes are made with buttercream faces and hair topped with a hat that might just look familiar to you if you're a regular visitor to this blog. Last year I made witch hat cookies for halloween, which I LOVED! This year I wanted to use the same idea but take it further. I'm not going to lie, these little treats take a bit of time to make but I think it's totally worth is and the whole project was pretty fun!
SOME TIPS and Tricks
* If you're short on time then skip the hats. The witch's faces are pretty quick and easy to pipe.
* I used an 808  or large round tip for the head and a 125 or petal tip for the nose. Hair was piped with a large grass tip.
* When you're adding food coloring to the buttercream remember that it darkens after it sits out for a but so don't panic if the color isn't super-saturated right away.
* Black sanding sugar is MESSY! So best to work over a baking pan and contain the chaos!
* When working on the cookies pop them into the freezer to set quickly
* You will be microwaving your chocolate from time to time as it cools while you’re doing the various steps. Black Candy Melt can be substituted for chocolate. It’s easer to melt and you don’t need to worry about it seizing.
* I used gold leaf for the buckles but they could also be made from yellow fondant.
