Description

Create enchanting Witch Hat Cupcakes for Halloween. This easy recipe features chocolate-dipped sugar cone hats atop Oreo cookie brims, colorful frosting, and festive sprinkles, perfect for parties and kids.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • Eggs, oil, and water (as required by cake mix)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (purple, green, or orange)
  • Sugar cones
  • Oreo cookies (whole)
  • Chocolate chips or melting chocolate
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter
  • Piping gel or frosting (for attaching decorations)
  • Halloween-themed sprinkles or stars
  • Optional: Edible googly eyes, Licorice laces, Mini cauldrons or themed wrappers

Instructions

  1. Bake Cupcakes: Prepare cupcakes according to mix or recipe. Let them cool completely.
  2. Make Frosting: Beat softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until desired consistency is reached. Tint frosting with Halloween colors.
  3. Decorate Witch Hats: Melt chocolate chips. Dip sugar cones into chocolate to coat fully. Press each coated cone onto the center of an Oreo cookie to form a hat shape. Place hats on parchment paper to set.
  4. Frost Cupcakes: Pipe or spread the colored frosting onto each cooled cupcake.
  5. Assemble: Place a chocolate-dipped cone hat on top of each frosted cupcake. Add sprinkles, edible glitter, or candy accents to personalize each witch hat cupcake.
  6. Serve: Display your finished Witch Hat Cupcakes on a Halloween-themed platter or cake stand and enjoy.

Notes

  • Bake cupcakes the day before and store in an airtight container. Add hats just before serving for best texture.
  • For cauldron cupcakes, scoop out a bit of the cupcake center and fill with green frosting or candy gel.
  • For a Summerween twist, use vanilla cupcakes, white chocolate-dipped cones, and neon sprinkles.
  • Store decorated cupcakes in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
  • Set up a decorate-your-own station for toddlers to make these Halloween witch hat cupcakes a fun activity.
