Happy Wednesday! It’s October and Halloween seems to be at the top of everyone’s minds. Today, I’ve partnered with some awesome bloggers to bring you a whole lot of Halloween inspiration, specifically involving witches… ohhhhh!  So are you ready to see my witch craft? Check out these Witch Hat Cupcakes, the perfect treat to take to a party!

Witch Hat Cupcakes

Easy Halloween Treat Idea! Make these Witch Hat Cupcakes using chocolate cupcake sand chocolate dipped ice cream cones! Perfect for your next Halloween party.

How fun are these? They are relatively easy to make, they are just a little tedious. But I promise the kids will love them :)

How To Make Your Own Witch Cupcakes

– Cookies

– Chocolate Chips

– Small Sugar Cones

– Purple Icing

– Purple Sugar Sprinkles

– Chocolate Cupcakes

– Buttercream Frosting (1/2 Cup Butter, 2 Tbsp Milk, 2-3 Cups Powdered Sugar)

– Red and Yellow Food Coloring

Start by melting the chocolate chips on medium/low in a saucepan. Once they are fully melted roll the sugar cones in the chocolate covering the entire suraface.

Next, roll the cones into the purple sugar sprinkles. I also found that sprinkling them on worked too.

They them on a piece of wax paper to harden. Mine were hard after 2 hours, but you could also place them in the freezer to speed up the process.

Now it’s time to assemble the hats. Get out your cookies, cones and icing and we are good to go.

Line the bottom of the cone with the frosting and attach it to the flat side of the cookie.

Using a round frosting tip, decorate the edges.

If you wanted to, you could stop here and just have witch hat cookies, but I think they look pretty darn cute as cupcake toppers. So bake yourself a batch of chocolate cupcakes (choose your favorite recipe).

Then make a batch of buttercream frosting. I always use the basic recipe of 1/2 cup butter, 2 Tbsp milk, 2-3 cups of powdered sugar. Just slowly add in the sugar until it is the consistency that you desire. Lastly, add a few drops of red and yellow food coloring to create orange.

Frost your cupcakes and top them off with a little Witch Hat!

    What a wild post, love the witch’s hat cupcakes, awesome tutorial. I might even could do that. I’m not real patient when there’s lots of steps. Our daughter , she might want to attempt it, she’s a great cook and believe me she didn’t get it from me. I could care less at this point in life about cooking, hubs does it pretty much all now, good thing or he’d starve.
    When kids all young (4) it was quite a challenge to keep them all full, including hubs. I must have missed that cooking gene as my Mom and (evenDad)cookedreally well all the time. My Mom came from a great cooking and baking awesome stuff family. Me, nah.
    How is it being a Mom to 2 little munchkins now? I can only imagine that baby is changing and growing. Oh how I’d love to be able to love on that little guy and your little lady. They are both so precious.
    Tally ho Taryn. Great post.

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
