Spooky Pumpkin Cupcakes (Morrisons) By @Cinabar

Happy Halloween! What better way than to spend it by cozying up on the sofa, putting on the film The Lost Boys, and tucking into a Spooky Pumpkin Cupcake. This is how we do Halloween, but I hope you are all having a lovely evening, whatever you do. Tonight's treat was found at the end of an aisle in the supermarket and was an impulse buy.

 

The pumpkin cupcakes are very nicely decorated with a cheery but scary face. I peeled down the wrapper and was rather pleased to see a lovely, thick layer of icing. This is my kind of ratio for cake to icing. I gave the cake a try and found it to be melt in the mouth light with a sweet vanilla taste. The icing is thick and holds together on its own. It is firm but still gives when you bite, and it has a delightful, delicate, sweet vanilla taste. These cakes are a bit of fun and a nice seasonal treat for Halloween. I loved the cakes so much though that I will go back and see if I can find any other flavours or varieties in the same style at the supermarket, as I would love to try a chocolate cupcake with that lovely icing on top too.

Whether you are a fan of Halloween or not, I still recommend these Spooky Pumpkin Cupcakes, and who knows, they may well be reduced in price tomorrow.
