My sweet friend invited us to a Halloween party for grown ups. Still with costumes and all. I offered to bake/make cupcakes in some kind of Halloween theme.

Found some great inspiration online on Pinterest. And decided to go with the Spider cupcakes.

First off I baked a lot of chocolate cupcakes – full rich bitter chocolate, to avoid it becoming too sweet with the cream topping.

Then I started to spread out all of the Oreo minis – and with some white sugar glacing painted eyes on the heads of the spiders. The pupil was small dark chocolate pieces.

The legs was made of liquorice rolls that I unfolded and cut out.

By then the cakes had been done for hours – do yourself a favor and clear out the day for things like these. It’ll steal away your time

So I made the cream topping – Danish ‘Flødebolle’ topping… Oh, so good. Added some red and yellow colors to get it in the right Halloween theme.. Then decorated the cupcakes. You can see the final result here:
