Making witch hat cupcakes for Halloween is surprisingly easy. You don’t need to be a pastry chef or have any fancy kitchen tools to make these fun and festive treats, just a little bit of time! Check out this recipe for how to make witch hat cupcakes with step-by-step instructions and pictures.

– Chocolate cupcakes, cooled are ready to decorate. – Sugar ice cream cones, 1 for each cupcake – Any round, flat cookie, 1 for each cupcake – Green and purple frosting – Sprinkles – again, you can get these at the Dollar Tree. – 10-12 oz chocolate – 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening

WITCH HAT CUPCAKE INGREDIENTS:

You can make your cupcake bases as you see fit. I love to use my chocolate cupcake recipe but you could use a boxed cake mix too. They are on sale all the time, always just a buck at your local Dollar Tree store, and super easy to dress up so no one knows you used a boxed mix.

The first thing you will want to do is to make the witch hat cupcake toppers. They need a little time to set up before you fully assemble your Halloween Witch Hat Cupcake creations.  Melt chocolate and shortening together to make the chocolate thin enough for dipping the cookies and cones.

Dip cookies and cones in chocolate and set aside or place in refrigerator to set.

How to Make Witch Hat Cupcakes:  Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes, alternating colors as you wish

Pipe a line of frosting around the opening of the cone and place it in the center of the cookie to create the witch hat.

Pipe frosting all the way around where the cookie and cone meet and pour on sprinkles to create a hatband.

Place the hat on top of cupcake.

Pipe a thin square shaped buckle in the center front of the hat band.  Your witch hat cupcakes are ready to entertain your spooky guests with!
