Go batty for vampire bat cupcakes! As sweet as they are spooky, these treats are a high-flying addition to any Halloween party. Whether you use store-bought chocolate-iced cupcakes or bake your own, transform them with candy eyes and paper wing toppers to create a fantastic flock that is sure to fly right off the table. Not planning a party this year? Let your imagination take flight and add a pair of wings to any baked good to make bat bagels, “boo-berry” muffins, or creepy croissants for an unforgettable Halloween breakfast.

What you’ll need:

  • Bat Wings Template
  • Cardstock
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Toothpicks
  • Chocolate-iced cupcakes
  • Eyeball candies or gumballs

Step 1 Download the bat wings template, print onto cardstock, and cut out two Bat Wings per cupcake. Tape each wing lengthwise to a toothpick, so that the pick is almost covered by the wing.

Step 2 Stick a pair of wings into each cupcake, one on each side.

Step 3 Add a pair of candy eyes to the top of each cupcake.
