Halloween Ghost Cupcakes

These ghost cupcakes are such cuties and so easy to make. They are perfect for Halloween. Kids and adults will love them just as much.

I used vanilla cupcakes, with vanilla buttercream, but you can use whatever flavor you like. We have a white, black and gold color palette for these, with little pops of red. For details, I added red bows on 3 ghosts and black masks on 3 of them, a reflection of the times we are living in!

Even though they are Ghosts they are not scary or spooky, just plain adorable! They will put a smile on anybody’s face. How nice is that?!
