Double, double toil and trouble, Halloween cupcakes with frosting and bubbles. Perfect for Halloween, Serene from House of Yumm made us these adorable Witches’ Brew Halloween Cupcakes.

Witches’ Brew Halloween Cupcakes

Hello Cupcakes & Kale Chips Readers! Serene from House of Yumm back with you for another cupcake! Since it’s October already I figured a Halloween cupcake was definitely called for today. Which led to these Witches’ Brew Cupcakes! Devil’s Food Chocolate topped with fluffy green frosting and tons of sprinkle ‘bubbles’ to create a bubbly cauldron that any witch (or child, or adult!) would be happy to devour!

To create the bubbles, I used a variety of sizes for my sprinkles. I used gumballs and large candy sprinkles from Wilton. You could create the same effect with any of the round ball type sprinkles that are available in most markets though. The frosting is a super light and airy Cloud Frosting that was perfect for piling high on the cupcakes! I found the recipe for the frosting here. It’s made with cold cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. The end result is so fluffy and soft it’s slightly unbelievable.

The fun of these is you can really add as much or as few ‘bubbles’ as you want!

You can also pile on the frosting to make it even MORE bubbly! Hmm..more frosting?? Ok!

I hope you enjoy this Halloween style cupcake!
