I made these this weekend for our grown-ups Halloween party and they were a hit!
The kids love to get all dressed up, and Halloween is usually all about trick or treating, sorting, trading candy
and seeing what everyone else is dressed up as.
I thought in addition to our usual festivities it would be fun this year to have a night just for the grown
ups. To plan out a costume, get all ready (it kind of makes you feel that excitement you felt as a kid)
brave the wind and rain, and spend the Saturday before Halloween with your closest friends.
So much fun.
And I wanted something sweet, that was gluten free as well for us to enjoy.
You can use your favorite cupcake recipe, a mix, or store bought un-frosted cupcakes to save on time.
These are super easy, but they look like they took much longer than they really did (the best option.)
Supplies:
One dozen Devil’s Food Cupcakes (homemade or store bought) unfrosted
One container of whipped vanilla frosting
One tube of black cake and cookie icing (Wilton makes a glittered variety too!)
Toothpicks
Small knife or spatula to spread frosting
Directions:
Begin by frosting your cupcakes with the white frosting.
Then one by one add first a large dot in the center of the cupcake, then a circle about half way to the edge around the dot,
then another closer to the edge. Using a toothpick begin in the center and drag the toothpick out to the edge, work your
way around the cupcake until the web has been created!
They are that easy 🙂
I like the way the white and black look together, and how the black icing has a slight glitter to it.
So pretty, and yummy too.
I’m not going to tell you how many of these I have had this weekend. That’s not really important.
But they make a wonderful breakfast too the morning after a large soiree when coffee and Pinterest
are your first order of business.
The dishes can wait.
What are are some of your favorite traditions you keep this time of year? I would love to hear about how you
celebrate and enjoy everything wonderful about this time of year!
Thank you so much for reading friend, have a wonderful & blessed day-

These are so cool looking and your photos are beautiful! Thanks for sharing this over at The Makers! I think I could use a cupcake right about now…
Thank you Katie!! We just polished them off earlier in the week, almost too pretty to eat but we were able to chow the whole batch 🙂 xoxo
Tanya, these spider-web cupcakes look AMAZING! And I’m not just randomly saying this either. I was scrolling through your site, thought to myself “This is a homemaker’s paradise website!” and then BOOM — spider-patterned cupcakes just stood out. Absolutely gorgeous technique, photography, and finishing touch. I immediately pointed it out to my wife when I saw it (She’s the real talent behind our blog, haha!).
Random thought: Imagine if the icing had a rainbow color theme to it. Pops out like crazy!
Thanks for sharing this, Tanya. Amazing stuff. 🙂
Love from Melbourne!
I every time spent my half an hour to read this webpage’s content every day along with a cup of coffee.
I just wanted to let you all know that I added a new list. It has taken me awhile to let everyone know due to server issues. Everything should be back on track now.
