Witch Hat Cupcakes

These spooky witch hat cupcakes are filled with a sweet surprise!

Yay! It’s Halloween Week!

Hayley (aka The Domestic Rebel) and I were talking recently. We wanted to do a theme week thought, why not Halloween?

I mean, it’s the first week of October people. We need to get in the spirit.

I, for one, am NOT in the spirit. Sure, I decorated my house. But I am NOT in the spirit.

It’s kind of hard to get in the spirit of Halloween when it is 100 degrees. I kid you not people.

But I know, you did not come here to here me gripe about the weather. Again.

{And, really. As much as I love candy and Halloween decorations…I’m not really in love with Halloween. Trying to pick a costume, staying up late, dealing with the eventual tantrum from staying up late and too much candy, dealing with the tantrums the next day because of lack of sleep and too much candy…not my idea of a great time.}

I figured making an entire week of Halloween goodies would get me in the spirit. There’s always hope!

So, first up: witches.

I have a fondness for witches.

For one, my name is Dorothy. Can you guess the first thing everyone who I’ve ever met has said to me?

That movie was kind of a staple in my childhood. I think the water-on-witch part is my favorite.

Also, last year I talked about my mom and her witch costume. Fond memories, I have.

These hats are super easy to make. They are sugar cones, coated in black candy melts. The brim is made of candy melts, and the band is a fruit roll up. Cupcakes are not necessary….but I liked the idea of the green. Kind of like my favorite part of the movie.

“I’m melting….”

But the one thing that wicked witch did not have was a sweet surprise. These melted witches? Have a very sweet surprise inside.

The hollow hats are filled with candy corn! I figured, why waste and hollow space when it can be filled with candy?

All in the spirit of Halloween!

Be sure to go see Hayley for Halloween Week. And be sure to look through your Halloween archives…we’re doing a Halloween link-up on Friday! You can come and link your favorite past and present Halloween treats.

I really need the help getting in the mood. Please help me!
