Witch Hat Cupcakes are the perfect, cute Halloween treat idea! Easy to make and fun to eat, the kids will love witch hat cupcakes this Halloween.
Witch Hat Cupcakes are such a yummy Halloween treat and one of our favorite Halloween Party ideas that both kids and adults just love.
Whether you’re looking for Halloween treat ideas for coworkers, or for your child’s classroom, these cupcakes are easy to make and so fun to eat.
CAN I USE A BOX MIX?
The concept is simple. You will start with a box mix of Devil’s food cake that you’ll doctor up a bit to make the cupcakes more moist and even more delicious.
If you’d like to make the box mix as written on the box, feel free, but adding in the pudding mix and sour cream is super easy but makes the cupcakes even more amazing.
HOW DO I DECORATE THE CUPCAKES?
If you search around the internet, you will find a variety of ways to decorate witch cupcakes. The method that I am sharing with you today is the same method that a local bakery used. It’s my favorite because it’s super cute and easy to do.
You will start with a basic buttercream frosting. When it comes to adding food coloring to the frosting you have a few options, we used purple and yellow but other cute options would be green or even orange. Add a few drops of food coloring, then stir to combine. If you’d like the color to be darker or more intense, keep adding a few drops more until the color looks good to you.
After the cupcake is frosted, you will place a single Oreo cookie (you will remove the frosting and separate 12 Oreos so that you have a total of 24 Oreo cookies) right on top.
On top of the cookie you will pipe a dime-sized amount of yellow frosting then place an unwrapped Hershey’s kiss right on top. Add a few sprinkles to the yellow frosting and you’re done!
SO cute!
CAN WITCH CUPCAKES BE USED AS A SCHOOL HALLOWEEN PROJECT?
These witch hate cupcakes lend themselves well for a school Halloween project. If you decide to use this for a project that kids will complete, make sure that you have the cupcakes made and frosted. You will also want to make sure that the other ingredients are prepped – Oreo Cookies are already separated with frosting removed, and the Herhsey kiss is unwrapped.
Not only are these cupcakes great for children’s parties, they also work well as a Halloween treat for your co-workers.
This recipe makes 24 cupcakes. Have fun sharing them with your kids, co-workers, neighbors, etc!
