Ingredients
Cupcakes
- 12 chocolate cupcakes
Witch Hat Decorations
- 6 Oreo cookies
- 12 Hershey’s chocolate kisses
- 1/2 batch cream cheese frosting
- Green food coloring
- Orange food coloring
- White sprinkles
- Orange sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Frosting: After making the cream cheese frosting, separate 1/2 cup of the frosting into a separate bowl for the orange band detailing on the witch hats.
- Color Frostings: Color the larger portion of frosting green and the smaller separated portion orange, ensuring vibrant hues for decoration.
- Prepare Oreo Halves: Gently split each Oreo cookie in half to create flat surfaces for assembly.
- Apply Orange Frosting: Place a very small spoonful of orange frosting in the center of the flat side of the Oreo cookie half to act as the hatband.
- Add Hershey’s Kiss and Sprinkles: Place a Hershey’s chocolate kiss on top of the orange frosting and press down gently to secure. Sprinkle white and orange sprinkles onto the frosting band for a festive look. Set assembled hats aside.
- Frost Cupcakes: Pipe the green frosting into the center of each chocolate cupcake, starting from the bottom and gently swirling upwards in layers, without touching the edges, to create a cone shape resembling the witch’s hat shape.
- Top with Oreo Witch Hats: Place one Oreo witch hat on top of each frosted cupcake.
- Refrigerate: Cover the cupcakes and refrigerate until ready to serve to set the frosting and keep decorations intact.
Notes
- Gently splitting the Oreos helps keep the halves intact for assembly.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip for smooth and attractive frosting application.
- Store cupcakes covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- Allow refrigerated cupcakes to come to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor.
- Adjust food coloring amounts to reach desired shade intensity.
