This recipe will show you how to decorate your cupcakes for Halloween. The cupcake base that's used in the top picture is a different kind from the chocolate chip cupcake recipe introduced below, but you can still follow the guidelines from Step 9 onwards to learn how to make cute little ghosts for Halloween.

Don't forget to adjust the amount of baking time to your oven! If the tops look like they're going to burn, cover with aluminium foil. The chocolate chip cupcake recipe here should yield about 6 cupcakes.
The chocolate can melt easily while you're applying the eyes, so chill them on an ice pack, and use tweezers to attach them quickly. Recipe by Mai*Mai.
