How to Decorate Halloween Cupcakes

These are four fun and easy Halloween designs to decorate your cupcakes.

This is the cupcake and icing recipe I used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF-islIWwV8
For the cupcakes, I’ve added orange food coloring to the batter and for the icing, I’ve substituted half a cup of sifted cocoa for half a cup of confectioner’s sugar and added black food coloring.

To decorate:
Piping bag
2D nozzle
2 round nozzle (or any round nozzle)
233 – grass/hair nozzle
Coupler for grass nozzle
Candy eyeballs
Black licorice strips
Black edible pen
Fondant

Gluten-Free Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Rose Swirls

I made my regular carrot cake recipe – https://mrsgooses.com/2014/04/05/how-to-make-carrot-cake-and-decorate-with-cream-cheese-icing/, but substituted rice flour for the regular flour. It worked great and was super moist!
