Wicked cupcakes from the Food Network are more sweet than scary.  The recipe involves making the cupcake and frosting from scratch and creating the witches hat involves cutting a triangle shape out of the center of the cupcake.  The witches hair is made from coconut or cereal flakes.  While it may take more time to create, what could be better than a Halloween treat made from scratch?

These tombstone cupcakes are easy to make and would make the perfect centerpiece to your Halloween spread.  Chocolate wafer cookies make the tombstone, and dipping the frosted cupcake in crushed cookies creates the look of dirt.
