Published by

Heading to a Halloween party or hosting your own spooky celebration? From our favorite baker and Instagram dessert genius, Samantha Chiu, these ghost cupcakes are all treat–and no trick! Thanks to frosting, fondant, and lollipops (!), you’ll be able to delight guests young and old with floating ghosties that are just, well, eerily adorable. Seriously, this might be one of our favorite Halloween cupcake ideas ever.

By draping white fondant over a lollipop, Chiu created the cutest Halloween dessert you never knew you needed. We’re pretty sure these ghost cupcakes will make you a haunting hit at any party this holiday!

Chiu might be a baking wizard, but this recipe is totally doable at home–no spell casting required! So roll up your sleeves and prepare to serve up a magical treat (and if you need a grown-up drink to wash these goodies down with, check out our Midnight Magic cocktail recipe here).

Ready to get into the Halloween spirit? Ahead, you’ll find step-by-step instructions for making this Halloween cupcakes recipe. Trust us, they’re scary good.

Boo!
