Vampire cupcakes are so easy to make and will delight your party guests. These cupcakes are the perfect dessert for a Twilight party...you know, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, the lion and the lamb. Vampire cupcakes are also ideal for a Halloween party. Think of them as cupcakes in costume, just like your party guests.
These cupcakes look rather elegant with white icing and just two drops of red on top. Then the surprise happens when you take a bite into them. Moist red centers mingling with delicious white cake is a taste treat your party guest will love. The filling is cherry pie mix and the icing is made with marshmellows.
Putting the filling in cupcakes is easy. You must cut a cone shape out of the top of your cupcake, add your filling and cut off a small part of the piece of cake you cut. This way the top fits nicely on the cupcake even though you have added filling.

How to Decorate Your Own Cakes and Cupcakes
It's easy to decorate cakes and cupcakes even if your not artistic.
I know, because I can do it and I would never have believed my homemade cakes would look so great. How do I do it? I get cake and cupcake toppers. They can be plastic or edible and you just put them right on top of the cake you have baked and frosted. Wait till you hear all the "OOHS and AAHS" from your family and friends!
Take a look at some cake and cupcake toppers you can get from Amazon. Look at how reasonable their prices are! Some are as low as $2.25...that's a great price.
