Halloween Cupcakes

Happy Halloween! How was everyone's weekend? My horror fest with Jim fell a little short on Saturday night but I've still got today to make up for it. I did, however, bake some delicious Halloween cupcakes.








I love baking. I might have mentioned that before, but I truly do. My problem is I often bake too much and don't have enough people to feed my creations to. It's sad. So usually Jim takes them to work. These are chocolate cupcakes with pumpkin cream cheese frosting. But I'm not sure if it can really be considered cream cheese frosting - it also has a lot of butter in it. I got the recipe for the pumpkin frosting here, but I tweaked it just a smidge, replacing the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg with pumpkin pie spice. Because really, its kinda the same thing, and I'm lazy. The chocolate cupcakes are Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate chocolate cake recipe, which you can find here or one the back of a Hershey's cocoa box. :D

Hope you guys have a great Halloween! I for one will be catching up on The Walking Dead.

Halloween Inspiration

All right so Halloween is this coming weekend?! Well, Monday really, but still! I can't believe how fast October is going. Not sure what I'll be doing on Halloween, since James has work. But the weekend is probably going to be a chill one. Last weekend at the Navy Ball took a lot out of me. I'm thinking tons of scary movies, candy and cupcakes and whatever other Halloween recipes I can whip up. I don't think I'll dress up though. I was going to just in case we got trick-or-treaters, but we didn't get any last year, which made me really sad. There must be some other place here in South Florida where parents take their kids for Halloween. So, with the weekend fast approaching, here's some Halloween inspiration for you all. What about you guys? Anyone dressing up/doing something really fun?
