Disney Halloween Cupcakes!

Trick or treat! I wanted to make some fun Halloween cupcakes for my friends and so I decided to make Disney Halloween cupcakes because I LOVE Disneyland and all the cute lovable characters. Chi Ba also suggested that I do Nightmare Before Christmas (great suggestion, thanks Chi Ba!) since I'm going with the Disney route so this is what I came up with! I made Jack Skellington and Zero, his pet ghost dog, and I made Mickey Mouse in his mummy costume and Minnie Mouse in her pumpkin costume! To find a fitting flavor to go with my themed cupcakes, I decided to make Pumpkin Spice cupcakes with Bavarian Orange Cream filling, mhmmm! I want to give special thanks like always to my wonderful assistant Jennifer for helping me with these lovely tricky creations! Thanks a bunch sissy!

So here's how I made these sweet treats! Mickey Mouse's eyes and ears out of fondant (thanks Khoa for jumping into eye duty last minute!) and piped on mickey's mummy wrappings! My pumpkin cupcakes were frosted with orange buttercream, topped with orange sugar crystals. The trunk of the pumpkin is green twislers, and the vines are green licorice rope. Minnie's bow and ears are made of fondant. Jack Skellington is decorated with buttercream and only his eyes are made of fondant. Zero is my absolute favorite and he is made out of fondant and I used black food coloring to dot his eyes! I wish I had a Zero of my own to be Luna's playmate! =)

So of course, how can I have fun Halloween cupcakes without some super awesome fun Halloween jokes?? Ready?? Here they are... How do monsters tell their future? With horror-scopes! What do ghosts add to their morning cereal? Boo-berries! Why was the skeleton afraid to cross the street? Because it had no guts! What do you do to mend a Jack-O-Lantern? A pumpkin patch! hahaha, ok that's enough =P. Anyways, enjoy and have a safe and fun time on Halloween, or as birds would say, "Trick or Tweet!" =)
