Cupcakes in the bathroom? Why not! 
This week’s giveaway sponsor is I’m With Cupcake and I am in love with their shop. It is devoted to party items and all things cupcake. They describe their shop as, “A place where the word cupcake is redefined to mean more than a small cake. Here, cupcake means anything cute, fun, kitsch, and clever.” I am really trying hard not to be jealous about this week’s prize! How adorable is this cupcake soap dispenser?
I’m With Cupcake is filled with sweet items that make great gifts for a loved one, or yourself. Here are a few of my favs:

There are tons of things you can do with piped icing, and you can especially let your creativity run wild around Halloween! Here are some ideas I found today while browsing Halloween cupcakes. These would be super simple to make, and I think they would be especially appropriate for a boys’ Halloween party or sleepover.
A big thanks to Zombie Wagon for letting us share these eerily awesome cupcake photos with our ATC readers! Yummy and deadly!
Do you make the greatest cupcakes? Show off your award winning cupcakes in these Greatest Cupcake silicone molds by Kikkerland Design. The set of two costs $8.00 and would be a fun way to display cupcakes after a science fair, spelling bee, or awards banquet.
What’s not to love about these cupcakes in a jar? Here’s what I love about them:
1. Easy to transport to a Halloween party, whether it’s at school, work or someone’s home.
2. Much less mess, not only during transport, but also when eating (I don’t know about you, but I really don’t like it when I get icing all over my face after taking a bite of cupcake).
3. It’s unique. We’re all accustomed to seeing cupcakes in cupcake liners, but not everyone has seen them in glass jars.
4. These would be fun party favors. See cute idea with ribbon below.

Over the past few years we here at ATC have shared several candy corn cupcake ideas. We started with the idea of dying the cupcake batter yellow and orange and layering them to look like a candy corn. The next year we showed you that you could take any cupcake and frost it to look like a candy corn by piping white, yellow, and orange frosting on top. This year we take it one step further, dark chocolate cupcakes with a candy corn inside! The Sugar Turntable came up with the fun and festive idea, as she says in her description, the dark chocolate cupcake combined with the candy corn colors just screams fall and Halloween!
The directions for how to make these awesome cupcakes are included in her original post but while at the website check out her other Halloween tutorials. The tutorials include instructions for the fun boneyard cupcakes shown to the right, would you believe marshmallows and pretzels are used to make them?
Check out these skull and crossbones cupcake wrappers from My Little Love, Sweet Party Supplies. I like the skulls inside the paisley’s which makes for a pretty yet spooky wrapper that will look great on any Halloween dessert table. Twelve wrappers come in a package for $10.00. My Little Love has lots of other wrappers and fun Halloween party supplies like the 36” jack-o-lantern balloon!
I just couldn’t resist posting these cute cupcakes. They look so fun to make–they’d be great for a Halloween party or some other type of fall-themed gathering. Ingredients include pretzels, graham cracker sticks, chow mein noodles, and your favorite candies.
Thank you to all who entered this great giveaway! Here is our winner:

I will decorate my cupcakes with fat strips of white frosting, cris crossing over the cake with eyes peeking out from under! Mummy cupcakes are the best!
Hopefully you will send us a photo of your completed mummy-cakes! Please email your mailing address to [email protected]. Thanks also to Peter Pauper Press for sponsoring this giveaway!
These creepy cupcake delights are from Ninas Kleiner Food Blog. The blog is in German, but the pictures tell the story!
Make a batch of cupcakes and icing, round up some pretzel sticks, POLO sweets, mini M&Ms, and some orange jellies, and make yourself a jack-o-lantern cupcake. I have to say that this looks much easier (not to mention way more yummy) than carving a pumpkin.
Do you live near Dearborn, Michigan? Well, then you’re in luck, because Iversen’s Bakery has just opened at a new location: 22441 Michigan Avenue! Want to hear the best part? This new location will feature a make-your-own-cupcake-bar! How cool is that? Extra cream cheese frosting for me!

Here in Chicago the leaves are beginning to turn magnificent hues of red, orange and yellow. I took several walks today just to get out and enjoy the pleasant weather and the spectacular colors of fall. As I strolled through our neighborhood I wondered what kinds of fall leaf cupcakes were out there, and I found this kit when I googled it. The kit comes with 24 cupcake liners, 12 cupcake toppers in 4 different designs, and 12 case wrappers. I love the colors, and these wrappers and toppers would really dress up your cupcakes.
One thing I am beginning to miss as the winter sets in are flowers, so I began a search for inspiration flower cupcakes to remind me of spring. Here are some of the best creations I found on the interwebs made by professional bakers, at-home enthusiasts, and even a jeweler!
See the 20 inspiring and elegant flower cupcakes after the jump and get to know the people that created them in the picture captions.
Could it possibly get any better than Almond Joy Cupcakes? Check it out: from the lovely kitchen of Mammaw’s Sweet Shoppe!

Owls seem to be all the rave these days. I see them everywhere, from baby clothes to jewelry to school supplies. Cupcakes are no exception; there are plenty of owl designs out there. I love the creative candy selection used to make these (Mike & Ikes, jelly beans, gummy rings, and frosting).
Be sure and take a look at some previous owl cupcakes posted on ATC (Halloween Hoot Owls and owls made from oreos, Reese’s Pieces, and candy corn). Owl cupcakes seem to be a great way to use up some extra Halloween candy…or a great excuse to go buy some of your favorite candy! You can definitely be creative with these and come up with your own unique combinations.
When I think of fall, apples come to mind pretty quickly. There are trips to the apple orchard, hot apple cider on a crisp, cool evening, warm apple pies, apple-scented candles, and of course, caramel apples. These caramel apple cupcakes from Taste of Home would be a yummy and festive way to welcome the fall season.

Over the years Halloween has become one of my favorite holidays. I love the cooler weather, the colors and decorations, and most importantly the desserts. If I was going to a Halloween party this year I would without a doubt be making these buried skeleton cupcakes! I can just see little boys loving and little girls being grossed out by these cupcakes with decapitated skeletal parts! These cupcakes are actually pretty easy to make once you find the little skeletons. Add crushed chocolate wafers to your chocolate frosted cupcakes and you have the dirt. For detailed directions visit Holidash!
How you present your cupcakes can be (almost, but not quite) as important as the cupcakes themselves. If you’re in the mood for a fun Halloween craft project, you might take a look at this simple, yet attractive cupcake stand. Step-by-step instructions and a list of supplies can be found here. It’s no doubt that the most challenging part of this project would be keeping yourself from gobbling up the candy corn before it’s all glued on!

As you all know, cupcakes are really all the rage right now (we hope they will be forever! ). And they are not showing any signs of slowing down in popularity. They are so popular that there has even been a board game for kids centered around cupcakes.
Take the Cake sold at Amazon!
Lets get playing!
Halloween costumes are tons of fun, but we all know that the candy is pretty important, too. Of course, every kid needs a special treat bag where they can stash away their goodies. This cupcake treat bag from Pottery Barn Kids would be excellent for holding all those tootsie rolls and gobbstoppers and snickers bars. Be sure and check out Pottery Barn’s accompanying cupcake costume as well. Happy trick or treating!
