Halloween Cupcake Kit

I was planning on participating in a Halloween giveaway a while ago.  The participants needed to submit a gift that was worth at least $25.00 and was Halloween related.  I thought about it for a while and finally settled on a Halloween Cupcake Kit.  I began to get all of these great ideas for the kit and then the giveaway was cancelled.  :( 

Since my mind was already racing with all of these ideas, I decided to go ahead and make my kit anyway.  I figured I could always use it as a gift for someone. Above is a photo of the box and a few of the items I put inside.  The next one shows everything I have stuffed inside that black box.  I know it's hard to see everything in one picture, so I'm going to break it down some for you.

Halloween Treats, No Trick!

A very good friend of mine (who shall remain nameless per her request) and her family got together to decorate cupcakes and a few other Halloween treats.  They hand-dipped fruit, strawberries, grapes, etc. in chocolate and then decorated them to resemble Frankenberries and other little monsters.  She brought in some of the grapes that had stringy orange hair and eyes made by dipping a toothpick into melted chocolate and then dotting it onto the grape.  So cute.  And yummy!

Here are some of the picture they took.

 Take a look at some of their cupcakes.

Doesn't that just make you want to go to the kitchen and start creating your own?
