Well it’s almost Halloween!! Have you made plans yet? Well, look at me I have already started getting Halloween Orders, which actually is not very common here in Israel.
Yeah here we don’t celebrate Halloween but they do have something similar in the month of March called Purim when everybody dresses in costumes. It’s just like Halloween but just a different name and not scary. Kids mostly dress in costumes of their favorite super heroes and Princesses, not necessarily into horror stuff.

I made these for a birthday girl recently. She loves Halloween so her request was to make Halloween cupcakes with her friends. So of course I chose to make the ones that kids would love the most… Witch’s Hat, Broom, Boots, Cauldron, Pumpkins, Skull and Bones, ghost. The kids really loved it.
It’s was a great celebration cause the parents really did a great job in letting the kids get a Halloween experience.

Cream Cheese Frosting
- Cream together the butter and cream cheese
- Add vanilla extract
- Continue to mix adding powder sugar one cup at a time.
