Pumpkin Monster Cupcakes

Tweet


Directions
Step 1

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place patty pans into a 2 x 12 hole pans.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and bi-carb soda. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, icing sugar, oil, orange essence and food colour. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients in two batches, mixing well in between. Add the orange juice and the zest. Mix well by hand.

Step 4

Fill patty pans to 1/2 to 3/4 full and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

Step 5

To make the frosting: In a small mixing bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the icing sugar, orange zest and extract. Add enough orange juice to achieve a frosting consistency (a little on the firm side so that it holds the weight of another cupcake when assembling your monsters)

Step 6

Spread frosting on top of cupcake and then top with another upside-down cupcake. Add the tic tacs for teeth and candy eyes, using a little extra frosting as glue if required. Insert chocolate stick through the top cupcake.

Step 7

Happy Halloween. Enjoy!
