Yummy Halloween Fun

Tonight we decided to make spider cupcakes as a family. I got the idea from this website. Emily and Madison loved it. Maddie helped me stir the mix while Emily put the liners in the cupcake pan. We made a white cake mix and put a little dollop of raspberry jam in the center and then more mix on top. After they cooked Emily and Madison helped Joe and I decorate them. They loved to help.

Of course Maddie just wanted to eat the Oreos, red hots, and the finished cupcakes. She didn't understand why we wanted her to put the Oreo on top of the cupcake and kept getting frustrated with us.

Emily loved putting the pretzels on the cupcakes and had fun trying to stick them into the cake. Overall it was a fun activity for all.
