How To Make A Michael Myers Cupcakes for Halloween
Step 1: Melt and Mold
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, and fill the Halloween face molds with the white chocolate.
Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes to quickly set the chocolate.
Place 1 teaspoonful of the black food coloring gel in a small dish, and mix in 1/2 a teaspoon of the melted white chocolate, stirring well.
Using a small cookie brush, paint the outline of the Halloween face mask with the black food coloring gel/white chocolate mixture.
Let dry for about 10 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cupcakes
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the sugar, milk, oil, yogurt, egg, and vanilla, and mix on low until blended, then mix on medium until creamy.
In a separate bowl, place the flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir well to blend.
Add the mixer, and blend on low speed until mixed.
Then turn up the mixer, and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl, and blend again until completely smooth.
Add 2 or 3 teaspoons of the orange food coloring gel to the cupcake batter until you have the desired color of red.
Line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners, and fill the liners 2/3 of the way full.
Bake at 350 for 13 to 15 minutes, until the cupcake is done and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven to a wire rack to cool.
Step 3: Make the Frosting
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, place the softened cream cheese, softened butter, vanilla, and heavy cream, and mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar about a cup at a time and blend well between additions.
Scrape down the mixing bowl, and blend until smooth.
The frosting should be thick and creamy.
If you need to add a little more powdered sugar, add about 1/4 cup until you have a thick and creamy frosting.
Step 4: Assemble Time
When the cupcakes are completely cool, place the frosting in a pastry/piping bag with the large star tip, and pipe the frosting on the cupcakes, using a swirling motion around the cupcakes and bringing the frosting up to a point.
Place the Halloween white chocolate faces in the frosting and keep refrigerated until time to serve. Serve, and enjoy!
This makes 12 cupcakes.
Note: Each Halloween face mold makes one face, so you’ll need to order accordingly – you can just order 1 mold, make the faces a couple of days ahead, and keep them in the refrigerator until they are used.
What to Serve with Your Cupcakes
Milk
Such a simple combination, but so satisfying. The airy cake flavor of cupcakes goes well with either hot or cold cups of milk.
Drinks
If you don’t like milk, you can substitute a cup of tea or coffee. The sweetness of the cupcake pairs well with the aroma of a cup of tea or coffee.
Popular Substitutions & Additions

How To Store Michael Myers Cupcakes for Halloween
Best Way To Store Cupcakes Leftover
Always keep them in an airtight container to prevent contamination and drying out from the air.
They can be stored at room temperature and out of direct sunlight for a day.
How Long Will Cupcakes Last In the Fridge?
Freshly baked cupcakes will keep in the fridge for about a week if properly stored; cover with foil or plastic wrap when refrigerating to prevent cupcakes from drying out.
Can I Freeze Cupcakes
Place the individually wrapped cupcakes in an airtight container and freeze for up to three months.
When freezing frosted cupcakes, I personally prefer to use a glass or plastic container (rather than a plastic bag) to protect the frosting and help the icing hold its shape.
Cupcakes FAQs
Can I determine if the cupcake is ready?
Yes, you can either remove the cupcakes from the oven or leave them in there.
Gently press the cupcake down. They’re done if the cupcake bounces back completely.
If your finger left a smudge on the cupcake, they require additional time.
Can I prepare them in advance?
Yes. The cupcakes can be made 2 days ahead of time and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
The frosting can also be made 2-3 days ahead of time and refrigerated in an airtight container.
When you’re ready to frost the cupcakes, place the frosting on the counter to come to room temperature and thoroughly mix it before using it.
