Halloween Cake Pops & Pumpkin Ginger Cupcakes

Fun Jack-O-Lanterns and Ghosts... Thanks Bakerella for always having fantastic ideas!! If you're interested in making these - I used the Americolor Food Writers for drawing on the pops (this is the best for writing on the Candy Melts according to Bakerella).

My Candy Stash - ready to go...


Some of the jack-o-lanterns after I put their faces on...


I thought I'd do a few ghosts just to see how they'd turn out. They were a little harder than the pumpkins - but I thought they turned out great for my first try. Bakerella has a great tutorial on these - click here. (I did not have the cookie cutters - so I just shaped the ghosts by hand - and I used white tic tacs for the arms)...


I donated all of this to Cakes for a Cure at my hubby's work. Every year they take donations of baked goods and auction them off to raise money for the American Cancer Society...


Pumpkin Ginger Cupcakes with Cinnamon Ginger Cheesecake Icing - these went for $25 at the silent auction...


Some extra cake pops - sold these as individual items for $1 each...

The cake pops were Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Icing - then coated with Candy Melts...
