For Cupcake Hero::October the rules were to either make a cupcake with pumpkin or to make it Halloween themed.  For the pumpkin entry I doubled up on the MSC Baking Club assignment (pumpkin cupcakes) which I will be posted on the 15th.

For the Halloween themed cupcakes I made vanilla cupcakes and tinted half of the batter orange and the other half black.  To make them scary I made legs out of Pocky, got some black icing and bought hundreds of eyes to make creepy crawly spiders.  I made 7 different spiders but liked only 4 as some weren’t as photogenic as the others.  This is the end result, they were as yummy as they look.  Good luck to all the other competitors, watch out for voting on the 16th.

Happy Halloween!!!
