I plan on bringing some Halloween-themed cupcakes to work on Friday, so came across this video tutorial on vampire cupcakes this week, so wanted to try them out in advance just to make sure they were tasty. It's a little time-consuming cutting out the cone from the vanilla cupcake, adding cherry pie filling, replacing cupcake lid, frosting over the seam, then adding the food coloring. I wasn't sure if the end result would provide a good return investment.
As you may or may not know, Brandon and I love cupcakes. We make cupcakes at home regularly, and enjoy trying out the different cupcake bakeries in town. Cupcakes are probably on my top 10 list of "Things I Love Most in the Universe." When my friends come to town from faraway places such as Alaska, I ask them to go on a "cupcake tasting for my wedding" and drag them to the nearest cupcake shop. Where I proceed to buy a half-dozen. Since my engagement, I've had 38 wedding dessert tastings. Okay- so that may be an exaggeration. Maybe.
Brandon tried the cupcakes first. He said it tastes like a delicious cupcake-doughnut hybrid. After his cupcake photo shoot, I tried one- and they're good! Very sweet- but isn't that the point? When I make them for work later this week, I'll probably be a bit more conservative with the filling. The only thing I'm wondering is if the vampire cupcake thing is obvious? Brandon said the food coloring looks like eyes.
Do you think I need a sign or little flags waving on toothpicks saying "Vampire Cupcakes?"

WHOA!! These are soo cool. I think I need to make it a priority to makes some of these, huh. SOO fun!
They certainly look scary and delicious all the same time. Good job of finding something original for the party!
