Day Of The Dead Cupcakes (Co-Op) By @Cinabar

I popped to the local shop for a top up shop, buying mostly sensible items like bread, milk and some fresh vegetables. I was doing quite well and managed to not add any extras until I got to the till where I saw the boxes of these 4 Day Of The Dead Cupcakes, darn the last minute impulsive buys.

Day of the Dead is a festival which coincides with Halloween. They are similar in that both believe it is the night when the dead come back. I’m not going to pretend to be an expert on such things, but I like the Day of the Dead masks etc as Halloween decorations, so I'm mixing it up a bit. These cupcakes are super sweet for either celebration. There are two of each design in the pack, one with bones and black icing, the other is more colourful with a Day of the Dead mask.

The flavours for both are chocolate, and the sponges are sweet with lots of cocoa flavour. I have to admit I preferred the colour icing to the black icing as it is a little less weird to eat, but both were full of flavour and had super cool designs. This may have been a bit of a last minute buy but they certainly are a nice start to the Halloween weekend.
