How can I make Halloween cupcakes SCARY?
I was thinking about putting a gummi worm in each of them, and using orange frosting, with black sprinkles, any other good ideas?
Answers:
Put Visine in them. And then don't stand in anyone's way when they run for the bathroom!
put little signs in them that say "made with trans fats"
Put razor blades in them.
No seriously, there are many Web sites out there that have creative ideas...just get to searching. Have fun!!!
Maybe make them with eyeballs on them. www.chef2chef.com great website for cooking ideas.
Here are a ton of ideas!

place a clove of garlic in each one .... kids won't bother you next year :)
a big rat on top will be very scarry if you are a cat.
Yes! That's quite nice! You could also splatter some strawberry syrup on them so they look like bloody cupcakes!
White icing and red gel cake decorating icing as blood. You can also buy gummi body parts or bugs (I would go for the body parts) and top the cupcakes.
Use food coloring to make them purple - use licorice strings for legs - red hots for eyes - and turn them into spiders. My kids LOVE these - they are fun and creepy!
get some real looking plastic spiders, or flys...put them on top, or get some thin red frosting and drizzle it over top to look like blood.
If this is an adult party you can make or obtain fake glass made from sugar. I was at a party YEARS ago and they had fake window glass sticking out of the food. It made quite the impression!
Use a Milano cookie, break it in half, and use icing to make it gray and look like a tombstone... then stick it in green frosting on the cupcake. You can also use black plastic spiders as decoration, and Peeps makes white ghosts you can use too!
I would do the worms in dirt affect
Take a think straw for like milk shakes and punch a whole into the center of the cooked cupcake. Frost it with chocolate frosting or orange in your case and add crushed oreo's. The grit of the oreo's will have dirt texture and then put the gummy worm in the center with his little head poking out the top.
It would be the easiest way too go without hours of decorating.
Try putting Mexican Jumping Beans under the frosting to make it look like something is living in it. Just let them know before they eat them.
hey just recieved a M&Ms halloweens goody email today go to their site and they have cute cup cakes for halloween
use chocolate batter and chocolate frosting. make a funnel(you can find out on any cooking website) buy some white frosting and put into the funnel. start at the center and make a big swirl to the edge of the cupcake. take a toothpick and make for lines from the center to the outside. then in between the lines already made pull the toothpick up from the edge. this makes a spiderweb effect.
you can make the cup cake and put the worm in it and for the frosting make it white, and get a red food coloring and put it on like vanes but space it out and put a eatable eye ball in the middle
when cupcakes are done and cooled, dig a hole in the middle of it and add scary thing like spiders (FAKE ONES :) Or worms, even keep parts hanging out then fill the hole with frosting like nothing was ever done.
sprinlke your cupcakes with crushed Oreos and throw a couple gummi worms on there so it looks like dirt.
Make lil eyeballs on them out of various candy pieces. Like this cake http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf16552947.tip...
