Get creative with your treats this Halloween for your party! These cute Cauldron Cupcakes are perfect for a classroom party, a “Trunk or Treat” or any spooky gathering you might have! Not onlu are they adorable, they are really easy to make! You can use any cupcake recipe you want, although I love using Red Velvet around Halloween. You can make mini cupcakes, or full sized too! Minis are extra fun for parties in my opinion, but either way these will be the hit of your Halloween dessert table!

How To Make Cauldron Cupcakes
First bake your cupcakes. Use my red velvet cake recipe, a boxed mix. Or you don’t even have to use red velvet, you could make vanilla cupcakes or chocolate cupcakes! Whatever you prefer. If you want to make mini cupcakes, here’s the mini cupcake pan I use. Next make some frosting. I always use my favorite vanilla buttercream recipe because it’s delicious and makes the perfect amount. Take out one cup of the frosting and save that for later. Then divide the remaining frosting in half. Color half yellow and half orange. Then using a piping bag, put about 1 cup of the yellow on one side of the bag and the same amount of orange on the other. Having the colors mix is totally fine, you want it to look like a fire! I used a Wilton 1M tip on my bag. You’ll need to refill the piping bag when you run out, and just do it the same way as the first time. You will have to refill the piping bag as you go. Swirl the frosting onto each cupcake to look like fire! Now, with the reserved frosting, tint it green and fill another piping bag with the green frosting that I fitted with a Wilton #12 tip, but any medium round tip will be fine! Next grab some mini peanut butter cups and pipe on some frosting like this…kinda messy, to look like bubbly witches brew! They sell the mini unwrapped peanut butter cups, which are super convenient if you’re making mini cupcakes, otherwise use “miniature” peanut butter cups. You will need to unwrap these because as far as I know they don’t come unwrapped. To make a little “spoon” or “wand” for the cauldrons I grabbed some black candy melts or chocolate chips and melted them in a microwave safe bowl I transferred that to a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off and piped little stripes onto parchment paper. You could use black licorice too! Let the chocolate set up and gently peel the chocolate from the parchment and place it in the green frosting in the “cauldron”. Now you just need a witch to stir the bubbling cauldrons!
