Happy Halloween! What have you got planned with your little Witches and Warlocks today? We will be pillaging our local town then after a spooky tea we'll be greeting trick or treaters at our scary front door. Can't wait to share pictures with you tomorrow but in the meantime here is another fantastic Halloween recipe from Betty Crocker - Spider cupcakes!

Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • 90 ml vegetable oil (6 tbsp)
  • 250 ml water
  • 3 medium free range eggs
  • 1 tub Betty Crocker Rich and Creamy Vanilla Icing
  • red food colouring
  • Yellow food colouring
  • Tube of black decorating icing
  • 48 black fruit pastilles

  Method
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan assisted ovens) / Gas Mark 4.
  2. Mix the eggs, oil, water and cake mix gently together and whisk (by hand or electric mixer) for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the mixture evenly into the cupcake cases.
  4. Bake in the centre of the oven for 16 minutes or until a rounded knife inserted into the deepest part of a cupcake comes out clean. Leave to cool on your cooling rack.
  5. Stir three drops of red colouring and 4 drops of yellow food colouring into Betty’s Vanilla Rich and Creamy Icing in a small bowl, and mix to create orange icing. Spread this over the cooled cupcakes.
  6. Create four black circles on each cupcake using the black decorating icing. Use a knife to draw through the circles from the centre of each cupcake to create the web effect.
  7. Rollout one fruit pastille and cut out eight strips for legs and then place a whole fruit pastille in the middle to create your spider. Do this for each cupcake to create your beastly batch…Scarily splendid!
