A birthday spectacular, a special celebration, and a little bit gruesome ghoulishness adds up to a perfect cupcake menagerie.
With dozens of cupcakes to make, I madly set to work in my lair. I was like a mad scientist, with so many thoughts running through my head, I became frazzled, and just a little demented.
It all started with the idea, that zombies, yes zombies, should be involved in the Halloween cupcake spectacular, but how, and with what, and then it hit, like a thunderbolt from the sky ... brains, zombie brains, MmmmMmmm ... who doesn't love zombie brains. And the perfect material for my zombie brains was white chocolate with a touch of food coloring to give it a brain matter cast.
From there it was all about baking, baking, baking. Mini red velvets, lemony goodness, chocolate with chocolate and just a bit more chocolate, Irish cake bombs, and the final touch of pumpkin spice. Dozens of cupcakes came out of my oven ... moist and delicious, and not for me.
Looking like candy corn, but tasting of lemon. The lemon were frosted with orange and white lemon buttercream, sweet and tart, and oh so delicious.
"Double, Double, toil and trouble ..." That's what you get when you have spiked cupcakes, but would you really want them any other way. So along came the Irish Cake Bombs, not a normal Halloween fair, but how can you say no to Chocolate, and Guinness, and Baileys combined.
Then there was pumpkin, nothing says Halloween, quite like pumpkin, and so the pumpkin spice cupcake came to be, and it was delectable, with the cream cheese frosting, and moist pumpkin cake.
When it all came together, the cupcakes were many, each unique in flavor and fun, red velvet zombie brains, death by chocolate skeleton pretzels, witch's brew Irish cake bombs, ghoulish pumpkin spice, and lemon candy corns, together in ghoulish harmony.
