How To Make Spider Cupcakes For Halloween
Fall is my favorite time of year and Halloween is absolutely my favorite Holiday. I love the decorating, costumes, atmosphere and everything else that goes with it. I go all out each year with about 30 carved pumpkins, leaf crafts, and of course a ton of goodies!
Last year we made these Halloween Spider Cupcakes , they are very easy and you can use either your own homemade cake recipe or a box cake. We use a box cake to save time because we are always so busy.
