Dracula cake for Dawn's birthday!

So my friend's Dawn's birthday was this past Monday, so I made her this adorable Dracula cake! It was a 6" lemon cake with a vanilla buttercream filling, vanilla buttercream frosting, chocolate frosting for the hair, and fondant for the eyes, nose, mouth, fangs, and ears! Whew! I used just a teeny tiny bit of ivory for the skin, and delphinium blue wilton coloring for the mouth/eyes. I used a Wilton FoodWriter marker to draw the red on the fangs.

Since it was only a 6" cake, I had some extra batter and used it up with some cute cupcakes with a neon  green frosting and some cute sprinkles. Doesn't my Dracula have the cutest little ears?!

I got this idea from Coco Cake Land. She has plenty of super adorable cake/party ideas! I may have to try her little green witch kitty...

Witch Cauldron Cupakes

This is what I hope is only the first cupcake of this lovely autumn season. These are my witch cauldron cupcakes. The idea is not my own, someone found it in a magazine for me. These were very time consuming, and the first ones I tried were a complete disaster! :) It took a number of cupcakes to actually figure out the best way to put them together, but in the end I found something that works and they came out looking pretty adorable! 

Tune in next week for some pumpkin patch cupcakes! (Hopefully.)

Super-Late Halloween Brownie Monsters

Okay, okay. I know these aren't cupcakes, or even cake, but I loved them. Not my original idea - I found these guys on a different baking website. It's a chocolate brownie, with a peanut butter frosting. The eyes are mini reese's peanut butter cups placed upside down, with white frosting and chocolate chips.

Super-Late Halloween Cupcakes

Here are my super-late Halloween cupcakes. The top ones were an adorable little kit acquired from Joanne's that came with the cupcake wrappers and the little moons/haunted houses with some black and orange sprinkles for good measure - chocolate cupcake with a vanilla frosting. The bottom ones were vanilla with vanilla frosting with adorable little bone sprinkles. For the frosting for both I used Duff's (from the Ace of Cakes!) coloring.
