Candy Cane Cupcakes

Today my son's after school piano club had a Christmas party. He asked me to bring in cupcakes, so of course, I obliged :) I had a new holiday-ish recipe I'd wanted to try out, so really he didn't have to ask me twice!

When I brought the cupcakes in, the teacher said, "Oh that's nice! You didn't have to go buy something so extravagant!" I said I didn't, I made them :)

Halloween Cupcakes

What better treat at a Halloween party than cupcakes?! I couldn't have asked for these to turn out any better. Three flavors, three fun Halloween-y styles. These cupcakes were made for my son's middle school Halloween party at the YMCA. He goes to an after school club that is run by the local Y, and they did their Halloween party tonight. So, of course, I spent the day making cupcakes for the occasion :)

I have a few leftover if anyone wants them! :)
Have a Happy Halloween, Chaos Peeps!
