Steps to Prepare the Delicious Halloween Donuts

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, blending until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.

Now that your cupcakes are ready, it’s time to adorn them! For a lovely pumpkin look, prepare some orange buttercream frosting:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• Orange food coloring

Whip together the butter and powdered sugar, adding milk and orange food coloring until you achieve your desired look. Using a piping bag, swirl the frosting onto each cupcake to emulate a pumpkin’s shape.

For ghost decorations, you can use mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. Simply place the marshmallow on top of the cupcake and then use chocolate chips to create eyes! You can also use fondant dough to make a ghost figure or some sugar paste to make edible figures and let your imagination run wild! These Halloween cupcakes are a treat in more ways than one. Not only do they taste delicious, but they also offer a creative outlet for your unique decorating skills.
