Steam Punk Halloween Cupcakes

This week I had the privilege to make Halloween cupcakes for an old professor of mine at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith.  Some time ago she won a contest I ran on my cake page and decided to use her prize for her faculty party.  The theme this year was steam punk.  My original plan involved sprockets and zeppelins on the other cupcakes, but as luck would have it, I contracted the stomach virus that was going around and only had time to finish the hats.

These hats are constructed entirely out of tootsie rolls and the goggle parts are painted using luster dust and vodka.  (Sorry guys...the alcohol evaporates!)

Angie's Cream Cheese Carmel Pumpkin Pudding Cupcakes

It's been almost a week and a half since starting this blog and I hadn't made a darn thing.  I ran a contest to get more likes on my page and used this new widget called raffle copter. Once I posted that it did help, but silly me forgot about kicking the time back to help get more likes. (I was trying to get 150 and as of today, I am sitting at 145.)  So I just decided, since the contest had been going on since (I believe) February, I would just go ahead and pick out the winners.  The last part to the contest was sharing the contest feed and having people post that someone sent them...our winner was Angie!!!   She absolutely loved these cupcakes when I brought them to work a couple of weeks ago...(so much in fact, she and her son almost got into a fight over the one cupcake she was able to wrangle away from my other co-workers.  They ended up halving it together and no one was hurt in the process.) 

These cupcakes are super simple to make and kinda healthy until you put the cream cheese icing on them.  I love them without, but my husband and all his friends like them with it on.  It's a hungry girl recipe that I've adapted to fit me, with a basic cream cheese icing recipe...still tweaking the cream cheese...but its getting there.  I know Angie and Wade will love these as much as my family does!!!
