I purchased the Puffy Green Hand Pick from ABC Cake Decorating Supplies and the Bloody Eyeball Gumballs from SweetWorks.
These Chocolate Pumpkin Halloween Cupcakes are moist and dense. The perfect carnival or cake walk cupcake!
To make the frosting EXTRA special I used LorAnn Pumpkin Spice Bakery Emulsion. If you can’t find the emulsion you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
To get the eyeball gum ball to stay in the hand pick I applied some melted candy (candy melts), put the picks in rice to hold them upright and placed the bowl in the refrigerator about 10 minutes or until the candy had hardened.
ONLY TWO INGREDIENTS!
The batter is thick but bakes into rich dense chocolate cupcakes.
