Halloween Ghost Cupcakes

Halloween· Holiday

7 Oct

The first Halloween party of the season is quickly approaching and we’ve gotta be prepared to wow the kids so we whipped up these Halloween Ghost Cupcakes that taste like an orange Fanta soda but have the savory flavor of OREO. It is such a yummy combination!

Fanta Halloween Cupcakes with Ghost Frosting

Ingredients:

  • 1 Box White Cake Mix
  • 1 Can Fanta (7.5 oz.)
  • Cupcake Pan, Liners
  • 1 Tub White Frosting
  • Candy Eyes
  • Food coloring (orange OR red + yellow)
  • 5 OREOS, crushed

Directions:

  1. Mix cake batter according to box directions but omit water, pour in 7.5 ounces of Fanta orange soda.
  2. Add a dash of orange food coloring (or 1 part red to 3 parts yellow) to enhance orange color.
  3. Bake according to box directions.
  4. Let cupcakes completely cool.
  5. Scoop 1.8 C. frosting into a baggie, mix with 1 tsp. cocoa to make chocolate frosting.
  6. Spread thin layer of “chocolate frosting” over cupcakes.
  7. Pour crushed OREOS on plate and dip chocolate frosting.
  8. Using a baggie (as pictured) make an ice cream cone shape with remaining white frosting.
  9. Top with 2 candy eyeballs.
  10. Set up for Halloween party, class party or for an after dinner treat!

The color of the cupcakes (as pictured) looked more peach so we added another 6 drops of yellow and 2 drops of red to make the orange color really pop. And yes, they taste like a Fanta soda and are so good!

Crushed OREOS are a fun topping as it looks like dirt, to further spookify the ghost, but you can omit it and just frost the cupcake with white frosting + candy eyeballs as well.

Tip: A snack size baggie with a corner snipped off is a quick alternative for piping cupcakes.

These cupcakes are a breeze to make yet are really festive. My kids were BEGGING to eat one when they saw them on the table and could hardly wait to pick the eyeballs off first and much on those, lol!
