My friend, bride-to-be Amber, loved the bright pink chocolate cupcakes I made for her Ghoul’s Night Out Halloween bachelorette party. Of course, the frosting was bright pink too, and I added a Halloween touch with a black spider ring (which the girls later wore that night).
The bright pink and black color scheme matched my Halloween Ghouls Night Out Invitations and Party Favors, and these delicious desserts were gone before I knew it!
The puffy cloud pink frosting was a nice touch. I used boxed cake mix and canned frosting - no one could tell the difference! I focused more on the decorating details where my cupcakes packed a lot of punch.
Black foil cupcake liners added shine to each dessert. Plus, the liners matched the color scheme. Of course, the cake was double fudge chocolate. Yum!
To make the frosting, I put several cans of white frosting in my KitchenAid mixer and added 3-4 drops of hot pink food coloring gel until it turned a beautiful pink. (Find the gel at a confectionary shop.) I used a #12 tip with a piping bag to pipe the frosting.
To get a large frosting swirl on each cupcake, I first piped a small mound of frosting in the center.
Then, I piped a second larger swirl on top of the first one for a towering frosting peak on each cupcake.
To finish off the look, I sprinkled each cupcake with decorator's sugar and added a plastic spider ring. (The ring did a good job at hiding my mistakes!)
The cucakes looked amazing on my Ghoul's Night Out Halloween party table along with all of the other favors, desserts, and drinks. Check them out here:
