Halloween Party Cupcakes
Halloween can be so much fun and so can all the great ideas for creating some Fun Cupcakes for the party. I am a big fan of cupcakes vs. having a cake at any party. Being a party planner I have learned that serving cupcakes at the party not only makes it easier on the parents, but also keeps the kids happy as well.
Parents do not have to worry about cutting the cake and the kids do not have to fight over what piece they get. All the cupcakes are the same size and each will have a fun design that the kids will be proud to eat. So it is a win win every time.
