We’ve been having so much fun with wacky ideas for Halloween this month! We made something for everyone.

These stunning gothic rose cupcakes are perfect for an adult Halloween party, whilst the silly spider cupcakes will go down a treat at kid’s parties. You can even have a go at carving out a skull cake for the perfect spooky centrepiece.

Gothic Rose CupcakesFill the sides of your piping bag with black frosting, and the centre with red to achieve a two-tone effect.

Pipe a swirl directly onto your chocolate cupcakes with the No.1B tube to create the shape of the rose. We used the Bake Even chocolate cupcake mix which will make cupcakes with an even rise in no time at all - simply add oil and water!

Pipe the leaves on with frosting coloured green using the No.366 tube.

Spritz on some rose pink edible glitter to finish it off.

Halloween Skull CakeUse chocolate cake mix to make a round cake, then carve it into the shape of a skull – oval at the top, flat at the bottom.

Use a knife to cut out the hollows of the cheeks, and place two teardrop shaped lumps of sugarpaste on the apples of the cheeks to define the shape.

When you’re happy with the shape, buttercream your cake and cover in white Sattina sugarpaste. Mark out the eyes and nose using the end of a small rolling pin to create indents.

Dust some black edible blossom tint in the eyes, nose, and hollows of the cheek to give the the features some depth.

Use a black edible ink pen to draw on the teeth and the small crack at the top of the skull.

Decorate your board with crushed Oreo biscuits to create the illusion of dirt, and make some earthworms out of light pink sugarpaste to decorate. (We used Sattina Candy Floss but you can colour a small piece of white sugarpaste pink if you prefer)

Add some candy eyes and spider ring decorations to finish.

Spider CupcakesThe great thing about this idea is you have most of what you need in the spider cupcake kit! Simply bake some cupcakes using the Bake Even chocolate cake mix and leave to cool.

Colour your frosting with black food colouring before piping it directly onto your cupcakes to create a furry effect.

Attach the little candy eyes and legs contained in the kit to finish.
