Halloween Cupcakes

Enjoy these ideas for Halloween cupcakes. If you are wondering why we included ghosts and other Halloween symbols, please visit our Halloween Symbols page to learn more about how to use these symbols as teaching tools.

Note: Three of these cupcakes use homemade fondant. It is SO much better tasting than the store bought stuff, and it is great fun for the kids (it is like edible playdough!).
