These cupcakes are from Cupcakes from the Cake Mix Doctor by Anne Byrn. They are called Jelly Doughnut Cupcakes. I was looking for something that would look like blood to stuff in them, so I used strawberry jelly. For the frosting, I used Martha Stewart's "Vanilla Buttercream." It tastes sooooo good!
I had the most fun yesterday going to Wegman's in Fairfax, Va., where I found all kinds of candies to decorate with...But, back to the cupcakes again. The thing that took the longest was actually putting the first layer (foundation) of frosting before you get started with the decorating! I made 36 cupcakes and this part took me about a 15 minutes. I started with the photos in Martha Stewart's Kid's magazine and then spun off that. Then I decorated about 24 of the cupcakes, each in a different way...they became like little cupcake people (I know...they're a wierd bunch!)...but it was really fun. You can see more photos of my Halloween cupcakes at flickr.
