Halloween Swirl Cupcakes

It’s Halloween time! My favorite holiday and even more my favorite party we host! This will be our ninth annual Halloween party and Andrew’s first. For this year party theme, I stuck with the classic Halloween colors:  orange, black, purple and bright green. I found super cute plates at Hobby Lobby with all of these colors. They even had matching cupcake liners. 
​
To go with these fun colors I went with French vanilla cupcakes that I divided into orange, purple and green. Then using a small disher layered the three colored batters before using a toothpick to create a swirl. ​​

Once the cupcakes were baked and cooled, I frosted them using orange, purple, green, and black buttercream frosting. Actually, the black was made from chocolate frosting which gave the cupcakes a nice surprise. I placed each color in its own piping bag and then placed all floor in another piping bag with a large star tip. This created the perfect Halloween color swirl on every cupcake.
I’ve done this technique before with two and three colors; but four was a little harder and lot messier. However, they came out perfect and even turned your tongue black and now that is the perfect Trick and Treat!

Before, I thought that Halloween is all about fear and horror. I surely forgot about the treat in the trick or treat. It was just recently when I started learning how to bake. This might be a good idea since Halloween is now just around the corner. At first I did not really get why the author would mix such colors. Good thing is that the author mentioned that those colors are actually the colors of Halloween. The looks of the cupcakes were a bit strange, but I can say from the looks of it that they are indeed delicious.
