Hi guys!

Halloween is coming up and this year, I didn’t want to be late with my Halloween preppings. So starting with this recipe today, I think I’m right on schedule😉

As always, Pinterest is my favorite playground when it comes to finding inspiration for holidays. Halloween is no exeption. I found the cutest Frankenstein Cupcakes ever! And so I decided to try them. How do you like my little Frankenstein?

Some like it scary, some like it cute. I prefer the latter. My carved out pumpkins never scared anyone, I don’t have spiders or witches. I just bake Halloween treats xD

Cupcakes

  • 250 g sugar
  • 250 g butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 250 g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • (optional) Black or Halloween cupcake wrappers

  5. Line the cupcake tin with wrappers and fill them 3/4th

As you know, Frankenstein is alive. To give my little Frankensteins a heart, I decided to put some apple pieces inside them.

Aren’t they adorable? I must admit it is a little bit creepy to see them standing there, looking at you. Especially if you put them in the fridge, forget they’re in there and then open the fridge to get something. Aaarghh!!

Have a delicious day❤
