BRAIN CUPCAKES, SPIDER WEB CUPCAKES AND FINGER COOKIES

Last year i made finger cookies for halloween. This year i made brain cupcakes and web cupcakes.

EYEBALLS : CANNED LYCHEES AND MARASCHINO CHERRIES
FINGERS: ANY COOKIE DOUGH BUT I USED MY EMPANADA DOUGH FOR THESE. ALMONDS FOR THE NAILS. EGGWASH THE "FINGERS" BEFORE BAKING.

My Last Years Fingers!

This years fingers!!! Looks like these fingers got arthritis and jaundice too=;), for some reason my eggwash was so yellow!

**1 box usually yields 12 cupcakes

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
1 stick unsalted butter (room temperature)

Using an electric mixer, mix cream cheese and unsalted butter on medium speed until smooth.
Add the vanilla and slowly add the confectioners sugar until your desired sweetness.

***PIPE SOME DULCE DE LECHE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CUPCAKE FOR A SWEET SURPRISE WHEN YOU BITE INTO THE CAKE.

SPIDER WEB CUPCAKES. I USED DULCE DE LECHE AND CREAM CHEESE FROSTING.
SPREAD THE FROSTING, PIPE THE DULCE DE LECHE AND MAKE 3 RINGS ON TOP OF THE FROSTED CUPCAKE THEN USING A TOOTHPICK DRAW FROM CENTER OUT WIPING TOOTHPICK IN BETWEEN DRAW TO MAKE A CLEAN WEB.

BRAIN CUPCAKES: CREAM CHEESE FROSTING. MIX A LITTLE OF YELLOW AND RED FOOD COLORING TO ACHIEVE THE PINKISH COLOR. PIPE THE FROSTING THEN MAKE A "BRAIN DESIGN"
