I like having creative friends because they can inspire you in so many ways. When I saw that my friend Leslie was making ‘stache o’ lanterns for Halloween, I couldn’t stop smiling – and I’m no hipster.

Tiny pumpkins scream cuteness. I wanted to take the similar idea of tiny pumpkins but make them edible.

ingredients:
cupcakes
frosting
sprinkles
candy corn pumpkins
heart quinns

I was going to hand make the pumpkins then I realized I could buy a bag of candy corn pumpkins for a buck at Target, so what the heck.

I piped them two little eyes, and then added a teeeeny heart quin mouth. These are the Angelina Jolie of pumpkins.

When I want to give cupcakes some color, but not overwhelm them – I ‘edge’ them by rolling the sides in sprinkles.

I popped the little ‘punk-in’ on top and it was all decked out for Halloween!
