cupcakes - full or mini? halloween ideas?

joy143dh

Hi ~ I'm signed up to bring cupcakes to BD's toddler room for halloween party next Friday.  There are 12 kids and 4 teachers. 

Should I bring full cupcakes or mini ones?   Other people are also bringing cookies, pretzels, juiceboxes. 

Also, any halloween cupcake ideas?

I would do mini regular cupcakes or full size healthy cupcakes. Kraft family had a bunch of cute ideas. Also check out the book Hello, Cupcake!!

I saw the cutest one in a magizine.So easy

Bake cupcakes and frost with chocolate fosting, use chocolate jimmies and sprinkle over cucakes, use black string licorice (sp?) for legs, and two yellow or red M&M's for eyes, so easy and cute.

Not sure about full or mini, but we're doing "eyeball" cupcakes for DS's birthday party!

According to my dd's teacher, mini is much less messy because they can actually somewhat fit them in their mouths.  So that is what I usually send.  They're so cute, too!

My mom get's Womans World, and they have really cute cupcakes that look like witches hats in there this week.  They are fullsize.  I don't think you could do to much to a mini cupcake to make it really halloween-ish. 

I am making ones that look like ice cream cones (swirly frosting).  Three color swirled icing (you paint stripes inside the pastry bag) that look like candy corn.

R and I made these last weekend, and they were a HUGE mess, but really fun.

Thanks ladies! Love the ideas.  I just saw the eye cupcakes on Kraft - thanks! 

I also found an easy idea for mini cupcakes just using the plastic spider rings (cute and they get a prize with each cupcake)

I would say regualr sized. Kids LOVE cake and candy. Sometimes you will be surprised how much they can eat, plus the adults too maybe?

I second the "Hello, Cupcake" suggestion.  They have a good selection of Halloween cupcakes and some of them are not too time consuming to make.  I just made the "bug" ones for a picnic last weekend and they were very easy and went over great.
