Halloween Cupcakes with Kids

Calleigh and I had a great time decorating some cupcakes. I made the cupcakes and put the frosting on whilst Calleigh was having a nap so when she woke up we could decorate them together. 

A great tip for when decorating cakes with little ones is to put all of the decorations into a cupcake baking tray. That way they can pick out which decorations they want to put on without making a mess, well too much mess. 

I used a basic cake and butter cream frosting mixture (the recipe is posted here) and used special Halloween decorations and candy corn to decorate.  

Calleigh loved it and surprisingly resisted the urge to eat any right up until the end when I turned around to find her licking one.
