Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line two 12-hole cupcake tins with cases. Beat the butter and sugar until the mixture is creamy. Beat in the chocolate and the eggs until combined, then stir in the flour and baking powder, cocoa powder, milk and food colouring, if using. Spoon the mixture evenly between the cupcake cases, levelling the tops.
- Bake for 20 mins or until the cakes are risen and springy to the touch. Cool for 5 mins in the tin, then lift out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the buttercream, beat the butter until soft, then stir in the icing sugar a little at a time. Beat in the vanilla and some black food colouring, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle.
- For the cat face, pipe the black buttercream in an even swirl onto the cupcake and smooth with a palette knife. Pipe two ears by making a blob for each and pulling the icing bag upwards to a point. Add two eyes on each with Smarties and use the black icing pen to paint a pupil onto each. Add a triangle nose made of pink fondant icing and create whiskers with sweets.
- For the monster faces, cut circles of green and blue fondant to fit the tops of the cupcake and fix them in place with a little buttercream. Add eyes, noses and mouths made of sweets or use icing eyes (see tip, below). For skeletons, cut out shapes with white fondant and fix in place with the buttercream.

- Witch Hat Cupcakes. Let’s start things off with these adorable cupcakes that look complicated to make, but are actually newbie-friendly. These are classic chocolate cupcakes at the base, frosted with green buttercream frosting (thank you, food color gel), and topped with wickedly cute witches’ hats.
- Black Cat Halloween Cupcakes. Black cats are often seen as a bad omen. On these cupcakes, though, they couldn’t be cuter! This recipe is perfect if there’s no time to bake.
- Floating Ghost Cupcakes. OMG, how cute are these floating ghosts?! Wondering how that floating ghost effect is achieved? It’s simpler than you think.
- Halloween Spider Web Chocolate Cupcakes. These spiderweb cupcakes aren’t only stunning, they taste incredible, too. At the base are chocolate banana cupcakes so light and fluffy it’s like biting into a cloud.
- Owl Cupcakes. These owl cupcakes are a hoot! Those big eyes are way too cute. They’re also easily customizable. You can use whatever cupcake and frosting recipe you like or, you know, just get store-bought.
- Harry Potter Sorting Hat Cupcakes. Chocolate cupcakes are frosted with a vanilla buttercream swirl. Sure, they’re basic, but the Sorting Hat cutout on top makes them extraordinary.
- Oreo Bat Cupcakes. Looking for a fun Halloween activity for the kids? The search is over – these Oreo bat cupcakes are the winner. Just like most of the recipes on this list, you’re free to use store-bought cupcakes and frosting for this project.
- Blood Sucking Vampire Cupcakes. If you’re a fan of Dracula, Lestat, or Edward, I’m sure you’ll find these vampire cupcakes spellbinding. The deep black hue of both the cupcakes and frosting makes them hauntingly beautiful.
- Monster Cupcakes. These monsters are more charming than terrifying. They’re also extremely tasty. I love that with just some frosting, food coloring, a piping bag, and piping tips, you can make anything.
- Eerie Eyeball Cupcakes. Large gumdrops for the eyeballs, M&Ms for the pupils, and licorice for the eyelashes – whoever came up with this idea is a genius.
