A very early Halloween

This year Halloween came 2 months early when I was asked by Warwickshire Magazine to produce a few cupcakes for their October issue. I thought of some spooky ideas to put on top of cupcakes and as it was my first attempt at creative Halloween ideas I found it all a bit daunting, especially with a 2 day deadline! However it did give a new excuse to go and buy lots of new equipment!
Since I started baking I've been using Yorkshire pudding baking tins because I wanted to be cheap and not spend the £16 on Wilton muffin tins, but this was my excuse! And I couldn't believe how much of a difference it makes, my cupcakes all were perfect sizes, rose evenly and cooked beautifully! I couldn't believe my eyes when I brought them out the oven, it just proves how vital these muffin tins are. Considering they are not too expensive they are worth the money and pay for themselves with the amazing cupcakes that they make! (I got the Wilton tins which can hold 12)
Here are the cupcakes I made, hopefully they can inspire you! For the recipes check out the October issue of Warwickshire Magazine.
