Severed Finger Cupcakes and the Booo-tiful Halloween Contest

I was determined to make some Halloween cupcakes for the Halloween themed Kraftbomb we had on 26th October. I felt in the mood to have a go at some chocolate moulds so I got some severed fingers and pumpkins and got busy.

The Halloween pumpkins turned out really cute and looked rad sitting atop my Jaffa cupcakes. I didn't get a chance to take any photos of the cupcakes with their chocolates, but here are some of the little pumpkin chocolates waiting to grace the top of a cupcake:



I also popped some pumpkins and severed fingers into little gift bags for people to buy separately (apparently not everyone loves cupcakes as much as I do haha):



But the real winners were the severed finger cupcakes!

I made my long time favourite Jaffa cupcakes and topped them with orange buttercream frosting. Then I popped a chocolate severed goulish finger in each cupcake and put plenty of runny red frosting around for blood.

They turned out awesome and were the fastest selling cupcake at Kraftbomb. I never got to have one but I hear from all the people who were fast enough to snap one up, they were scary AND yummy :-)

The lovely Cassie from How To Eat A Cupcake reminded me today that she is co-hosting the Booo-tiful Halloween Cupcake Contest with Clara over at I Heart Cuppycakes!

So I got off my butt and am entering my Severed Finger cupcakes! Wish me luck. They have some super rad prizes up for grabs but unfortunately they are only for people in the USA. But I'm entering anyway for the fame and glory of being up against some other awesome cupcake bakers :-)
