Typically I find round-up posts silly (and maybe even a bit self-serving), but now that I actually have enough recipes to have one of my own, BRING ON THE DESSERTS!
Chocolate Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing
Fancy some cookies? Try out these chocolate sugar cookies with royal icing! They’re a total pain, but with a little patience they’re lovely and I guarantee all the compliments in the world.
Frosted Baked Pumpkin Doughnuts
Have you still not bought a doughnut pan yet? Ugh, you are such a slacker.
I know I’ve mentioned more than once my loathing of single-purpose cooking items, but my doughnut pan is one of my indulgences. People rarely bring doughnuts to get-togethers, so they’re a great way to distinguish your dessert prowess for all to see. These are mostly made Halloween-y via sprinkles, but hey, it’s the pumpkin time of year, so these tie in perfectly for any autumnal party you may be attending.
Stabbity Brownie Cupcakes
Sometimes you find a decoration before you even know how you’re going to use it. In this case I found some awesome sugar-knives and decided to make some brownie cupcakes with a little splash of blood on them. Not the best picture, but they were appropriately stabbity.
Tombstone Cupcakes
While this was one of my very early-baking recipes, it still remains one of my very favorites. Every year I swear I’m going to make them again, but I end up trying something new instead. My day will come!
These are simple and adorable. Pick our your favorite cake and frosting recipes and have at it!
I hope some of these fun recipes have piqued your interest! I’m looking forward to seeing what other great Halloween desserts pop up on the blogs this year.
