Halloween Treats: Spider cupcakes | Andrea Martin

Hello Everybody!
Welcome to day 5 and my last Halloween blogpost.

Day 5: Halloween treats: Spider cupcakes!

Today is my last blogpost of the Halloween week and I thought that I would finish it off by giving you my recipe for spider cupcakes. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

~Cupcakes~

175g butter
165g caster sugar
3 eggs
40g cocoa powder
self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder

~Frosting~

100g butter
200g icing sugar

~To Decorate~

1 pack or oreos
Strawberry laces/Cola laces
Smarties
Chocolate sprinkles

Method:

1.Start by switching your oven on to 180 degrees Celsius and putting cupcake cases into       your cupcake tins. 
2.Next, whisk together your butter and sugar until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
3. Now crack in your eggs and whisk them into the butter and sugar.
4.Then you need to fold in all of your dry ingredients (cocoa powder, flour and baking powder).
5.Next, spoon your mixture into your cupcake cases and aim to fill the cases almost to the top.
6.Now pop them in the oven for 14-17 minutes.


Whilst your cupcakes are in the oven your going to want to make the frosting.All you need to do is mix together the butter and the icing sugar to make a smooth butter cream frosting.

Once your cupcakes have cooled down you can spoon a thin layer of frosting onto the cupcakes.Your then going to want to completely cover the frosting in chocolate sprinkles. Next, you cut 6 equal sized pieces of strawberry laces for each cupcake and stick three either side. This will make the legs for the spiders. Next, you need to cover one side of the oreo in icing and tick that side down on top of the sprinkles, this is the body for the spider. Finally you will need to put 2 small blobs of icing on the oreo and stick smarties on top of them to create the eyes. 

YAYYYYYYYY! 
You have now created your tasty Halloween cupcakes.
