Halloween Cobweb Cupcakes

I've been trying to get into the Halloween spirit recently and I decided to make some Halloween themed cupcakes! They're simple chocolate cupcakes with a cream cheese icing and they are so tasty, so I thought I'd share the recipe with you!

Ingredients:

• 125g Plain Flour
• 25g Cocoa Powder
• 1½ tsp Baking Powder
• 150g Caster Sugar
• 50g Butter 
• 1 Egg
• 8 tbsp Milk

For the cream cheese icing:

• 50g Cream Cheese
• 25g Butter
• 125g Icing Sugar
• ½ tsp Vanilla Essence

For the chocolate icing:

• 25g Icing Sugar
• 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder
• 2 tbsp Water

The method for the cupcakes is really easy, you just mix all of your dry ingredients, add the rest afterwards, divide between your cases and leave to cook for 20-25 minutes! 

For the icing you spread the cream cheese icing over the top, then pipe three circles inside each other with the chocolate icing and use a toothpick to drag from the centre to the outside of the cupcakes to create a cobweb effect.

For a more in-depth explanation (and some cool editing if I do say so myself) check out the video I made:

It took a long time to edit so I hope you enjoy it!

If you make these cupcakes send me a picture :)
