A Slice of the Night He Came Home:
These cupcakes are a delightful blend of spooky and sweet. Here's how you can bring a bit of Michael Myers' mayhem to your Halloween party:
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED:
2 cups of White Chocolate - melted
Molds for Halloween face:
Horror Movie Killer Face Silicone Molds for Keychains Michael | Etsy
Black Food Coloring Gel
FOR THE CUPCAKES:
1 1/4 cup of Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon of Salt
1 cup of Sugar
1/2 cup of Milk
1/4 cup of Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoons of Vanilla Silk Yogurt
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon of Vanilla
Orange Food Coloring Gel
FOR THE FROSTING:
4 ounces of Cream Cheese - softened
4 Tablespoons of Butter - softened
1 teaspoon of Vanilla
2 Tablespoons of Heavy Cream
4 - 5 cups of Powdered Sugar
HERE'S WHAT YOU DO:
Melt the White Chocolate in the Microwave, and fill the halloween Face Molds with the White Chocolate. Place in Freezer for about 10 minutes to quickly set the Chocolate. Place 1 teaspoonful of the Black Food Coloring Gel in a small dish, and mix in 1/2 a teaspoon of the melted White Chocolate, stirring well. Using a small Cookie Brush, paint the outline of the halloween Face mask with the Black Food Coloring Gel/White Chocolate mixture. Let dry for about 10 minutes. Set aside.
Make the Cupcakes:
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the Sugar, Milk, Oil, Yogurt, Egg, and Vanilla, and mix on low until blended, then mix on medium, until creamy. In a separate bowl, place the Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt, and stir well to blend. Add the Mixer, and blend on Low speed, until mixed, then turn up the mixer, and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl, and blend again until completely smooth.Add about 2 or 3 teaspoons of the orange Food Coloring Gel to the Cupcake Batter, until you have the desired color of Red. Line a 12 count Muffin Tin with Cupcake Liners, and fill the Liners 2/3 of the way full. Bake at 350 for 13 to 15 minutes, or until Cupcake are done, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven to a wire rack to cool.
While Cupcakes are cooling, make the Frosting:
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, place the softened Cream Cheese, softened Butter, Vanilla, and Heavy Cream, and mix until smooth and creamy. Add the Powdered Sugar about a cup at a time and blend well between additions. Scrape down the Mixing bowl, and blend until smooth. The Frosting should be thick and creamy. If you need to add a little more Powdered Sugar, add about 1/4 cup at a time until you have a thick and creamy Frosting.
When the Cupcakes are completely cool, place the Frosting in a Pastry/Piping bag with the large Star tip, and Pipe the Frosting on the Cupcakes, using a swirling motion around the cupcakes and bringing the Frosting up to a point. Place the halloween White Chocolate Faces in the Frosting and keep refrigerated until time to serve. Serve, and Enjoy!
NOTE: Each Halloween Face Mold makes one Face, so you'll need to order accordingly - you can just order 1 mold, and make the Faces a couple of days ahead, and keep them in the refrigerator until time to use them.
With a little creativity, you can whip up a batch of horror movie cupcakes that are as frighteningly fun to make as they are to devour. So grab your ingredients, turn up the John Carpenter soundtrack, and get ready to bake up a storm! Happy Halloween, and remember... don't eat the last cupcake. Michael might be watching.
