Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cake Mix

  • Chocolate cake mix (to prepare 24 cupcakes)

Witch Hat Decorations

  • 24 Sugar ice cream cones (one for each cupcake)
  • 24 flat round cookies (one for each cupcake)
  • 10-12 oz Chocolate (for melting and dipping)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Vegetable shortening (to thin chocolate)

Frostings and Decorations

  • Purple frosting
  • Green frosting
  • Gray frosting
  • Sprinkles (for hat bands)
  • Candy eyeballs
  • Jelly beans (for noses)

Instructions

  1. Bake the Cupcakes: Prepare and bake the chocolate cupcakes according to the cake mix recipe instructions. Once baked, cool the cupcakes completely before decorating.
  2. Melt Chocolate for Dipping: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the chocolate along with the vegetable shortening. This helps thin the chocolate for smooth dipping. Stir until fully melted and combined.
  3. Dip Cones and Cookies: Dip each sugar ice cream cone and round cookie into the melted chocolate, coating them evenly. Place them on parchment paper or a cooling rack. Optionally refrigerate to help chocolate set faster.
  4. Pipe Frosting on Cupcakes: Using purple and green frosting, pipe swirls or designs onto the cooled cupcakes, alternating colors to your preference for a vibrant look.
  5. Assemble Witch Hats: Pipe a line of frosting around the opening of each dipped cone, then place it centrally on top of the dipped cookie, creating the witch hat shape.
  6. Add Hat Band and Sprinkles: Pipe frosting all around where the cookie and cone meet to secure them, then sprinkle sprinkles over the frosting band to decorate.
  7. Pipe Hair Decoration: Using gray frosting, pipe strands of hair on one side of each cupcake to complete the witch character look.
  8. Place Hat on Cupcake: Carefully position the assembled witch hat (cookie + cone) on top of the frosted cupcake.
  9. Add Facial Decorations: Attach candy eyeballs to the cupcake face and place a jelly bean for the nose, securing them with a dab of frosting if needed.

Notes
