It all started when I stopped at World Market about a month ago. I just love that store, especially at Halloween! They have so much fun decor, party supplies, food, and even Halloween wine and beer.
I picked up some cute spider cupcake stands.
So, I baked cupcakes! Genius, I know right? lol
I mixed up a batch of Perfect Cupcakes using a mix ‘recipe’ using a box of Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge topped them with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting tinted orange, and Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.
Let’s Make Spiderweb Cupcakes
- spread a little orange frosting (add orange gel color to vanilla frosting) on top of the cupcakes with an offset spatula.
- using a tube of Wilton Black Decorator Icing and a #5 Round Icing Tip and coupler, draw 3-4 circles on top of orange frosting
- using a toothpick pull outward from the center black circle to the outer circle to create your cobweb, repeating around the cupcake about six times .

Learn How To Decorate Spider Cupcakes
- spread a little chocolate frosting on top of the cupcake with an offset spatula.
- set cupcake in a small bowl and cover frosting with black sanding sugar (pour loose sugar that falls into the bowl on to next cupcake or back in the container)
- place 2 edible icing eyes on top
- set cupcake in spider cupcake holder.
If you’re feeling extra indulgent, fill a 16″ decorator bag with frosting and using a #7 tip, squeeze a little frosting into each cupcake before decorating.
