Halloween Cupcakes

I really enjoy food. I love cooking it and eating it. I think my most favorite is dessert. Recently I was asked to bake cupcakes for a party. With it being close to Halloween, I decided to look on Pinterest for cute Halloween cupcake ideas. Immediately a graveyard themed cupcake idea popped up. I loved it so much I went to Walmart and bought everything I could possibly need.

Grocery List:

Oreo's

Chocolate Cake mix

Powder confectioners sugar

Food coloring (lime green)

Cupcake tins

2 sticks of butter

Gel icing (red)

Milk

Vanilla food flavor

Cupcake Recipe:

Betty Crocker Super Moist Chocolate cake mix

3 eggs

1/3 cup of coconut oil (I prefer it over vegetable oil)

1 cup of water

Directions:

-Open cake mix bag and empty it into a mixing bowl

-Add 3 eggs

-Add ⅓ cup of coconut oil

-Add 1 cup of water

-Blend together

*Preheat oven to 350 degrees*

-Pour mixture into cupcake tins

-Once oven is preheated, put cupcakes in the oven

-Bake for 11 minutes

-Once the cupcakes finish baking, pull them out of the oven to cool

*While the cupcakes are cooling begin making the RIP tombstone oreos*

-Count out 24 oreos

-Write RIP on all 24 oreos with the red gel icing

Icing Recipe:

4 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons of vanilla food flavor

1 cup of butter ( 2 sticks)

1 tablespoon of milk

Directions:

-In the mixer add 4 cups of powdered sugar

-Add 2 sticks of softened butter

-Add 2-3 tablespoons of vanilla flavoring

-Add one tablespoon of milk

-Blend together on the lowest setting, keep on low until the butter and sugar are mixed together, and then change the blender setting to a medium level

-After a minute, turn off the blender and taste the mixture. If you want more vanilla flavoring then go ahead and add it now.

-If the mixture starts to dry add a little bit more milk

-Add in the food coloring and mix it in well

-Once the cupcakes have cooled, begin adding the lime green buttercream icing you just made

-Now that the cupcakes are iced, add the RIP tombstone oreos
