Halloween Cupcakes

My sister, Amy, had a great idea last week that we should make cupcakes and decorate them for Halloween.  We had been to Target and saw some cute ways to decorate cupcakes with mummies and other monster-type things so we started buying some things for decorations including tons of sprinkles, licorice-type strings and other what-nots and during the first session of General Conference, we mixed the batter and made the actual cupcakes.  We used a white cake batter, then colored some of it green and orange and made a swirl.  The others were chocolate cupcakes.  When we made the chocolate ones, something bad happened:

This is the mix that came with the mummy decorations.  They were a complete failure!  The dripped right over the side of the pan.  I didn't even bother to let them finish cooking.  In between sessions, we ran to the store and grabbed a real chocolate cake mix and those ones were better!  During the second session of Conference, we started the decorating process:

It was messy, crazy, and FUN.  Enjoy our finished products:
