Since everyone has been posting Halloween themed stuff, I decided to jump on the band wagon.  Vanilla cupcakes with orange/black icing and fondant ghosts.

I’ve made these before and they are amazing.

I feel much better now that I’ve baked something. Now I can continue with this cold I’ve got.  Back to bed :)

Thanks for looking!

  1. It's never too early to hop on the Hallowe'en band wagon. These are very cute cupcakes and I'm guessing the girls are now pretty excited for Trick or Treat time to come.
    Can't believe that you caught a cold. What a shame...no doubt it had something to do with the much cooler temperatures you had while *up North*. On the upside...at least your foot is getting the rest it needs while you rest. Hoping you feel better soon Karen.
