Halloween Spider Cupcakes #12monthsofmartha

Sponsored by Martha Stewart Crafts.

Halloween is on it’s way and that means parties, treats and well more treats. It is fun to have some Halloween themed goodies up your sleeve for class parties and other get togethers and these spider cupcakes are so perfect! They look impressive, but are so easy!

SPIDER CUPCAKE SUPPLIES:

Favorite Cake Recipe
Martha Stewart Treat Wrappers
Favorite Frosting Dyed Purple
White Candy Melts
Ziploc Bag
Martha Stewart Spider Stickers

1. Prepare cupcakes, bake, and while letting them cool prepare the spider webs.

2. Melt the candy melts 30 seconds at a time in the microwave. Put the candy melts in a ziploc bag and cut a tiny hole in the end. Draw some spider webs on a piece of paper and cover the sketches with wax paper.

3. Trace the drawings with the chocolate and let them harden while you frost the cupcakes with purple.

4. Carefully remove the spider webs from the wax paper and place on top of the frosted cupcakes. Place a spider sticker on each spider web.

I love these Martha Stewart Treat Wrappers! They are lined with foil so the designs stay perfectly bright!

We had so much fun making these spider cupcakes and probably even more fun sharing them with our friends and neighbors!
