Every Halloween, I find myself looking for new ways to turn simple cupcakes into spooky little showstoppers. They’re the perfect party treat—easy to make, fun to decorate, and always a hit with both kids and adults.

I love how a swirl of frosting, a few candy eyes, or a drizzle of “spiderweb” icing can completely transform a plain cupcake into something festive and unforgettable.
