Happy Halloween!

  I made these cupcakes for my nieces and nephews for the Halloween. They were banana cake flavor with vanilla (orange) and chocolate (black) frosting as the spider webs. They all loved it. We went to trick or treat in their neighborhood and the weather was beautiful around 50'F (10'C) and clear sky. They got so many candies that they almost could not carry all the goodies home. It was just a fun Halloween this year.

Happy halloween, this caught my eye and there's a strange optical effect as you scroll up and down over the image. check it out!

(Dave back to bed with the flu, maybe that's it)

Actually, you are right, Dave! I did not expect the optical effect! :) Hope that you feel better from the flu.

Next time, try making the cupcakes with pumpkin spice. You can still use the banana cake recipe, just add a cup of prepared pumpkin and reduce the added liquid so that you get the proper consistency. The resulting product is insanely moist. You can also add a drop of cinnamon oil to the frosting to give it a bit of a kick.

They do look lovely though. I'm sure your nieces & nephews loved them!

Thanks for the suggestion, Tommy! Yeah, the kids loved those cupcakes. I have added them to my recipe. It will be the treats next year! Hope that you and Morgan had a great Halloween too!
