Halloween Cupcakes

Seth SmootThis year for Halloween, we pulled out all the stops: We created menus for a Halloween Party for Kids, a Halloween Party for Grown-Ups, and Halloween Dinner Menu. But we know that for some people, it's just not a party without cupcakes. If that describes you, check out our favorite cupcakes for Halloween, with recipes and decorating instructions that make Halloween dessert a piece of cake.

See more cool Halloween cupcakes at our sister site Slashfood. And for Halloween costume and decorating ideas, go to Holidash -- you'll also find a Buried Skeleton Cupcake there.
