I am so excited to tell you about these Minnie Witch Cupcakes. They are so adorable. Did I say adorable? Yes, I know the word Witch to some may not sound too adorable, but they are Minnie themed too, and I am so proud of the way that they turned out. With Halloween just around the corner, I just had to make them. I am so glad that I decided to. At first, I was going to have my sister make them because I have so many other goodies to bake for Halloween and my fall party that I have every year. I figured that if I made them, I would be more proud of them. So again, I find myself in the kitchen more often. Why not add another cupcake to the many others that I will be making?
The cupcakes are too cute not to make. I am sure you will agree!
Don’t you think that these Minnie Witch Cupcakes are cute? They are colorful and the orange on them set them off. Not only are they cute, but they are also pretty tasty cupcakes. I don’t know of a cupcake that isn’t, as you all know my love for cupcakes. I love my cupcakes.
