Halloween Orange Cupcakes

Halloween Orange Cupcakes

When Kristofer told me his coworkers were going to bring in food on Halloween, I started ranting about how we weren’t going to bring in another dessert, but would instead make a savory dish for everyone to enjoy!

…then the deadline started creeping up on me, and I realized that I needed to use my Halloween cupcake liners anyway, plus Target had those fake fangs on sale at like 6 for a buck, so how could I miss the opportunity to buy those for a bunch of adults who wouldn’t use them? The answer: I couldn’t.

So I bought some Wilton orange food dye and a surprisingly good batch of cookies and cream icing.

After seeing my insides turned blue from my TARDIS cupcakes, I was a little more conservative with the food dye this time around. I didn’t like that my cupcakes were so flat – next time I’ll probably just do 12, and fill them more.
