Ingredients
  

Cupcake Batter
  • 1 cup Light Soft Brown Sugar Substituting with granulated sugar lightens the flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Use unsalted butter for better control of sweetness.
  • 1 cup Flour All-purpose flour is best, but gluten-free flour can work too.
  • 2 Eggs Ensure they are at room temperature.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder Stick to unsweetened cocoa for that rich chocolaty taste.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder Baking soda is a substitute if necessary, adjust quantity.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Any non-dairy milk can replace it easily.
Fondant Witch Hats
  • 2 cups Icing Sugar Can be dyed with gel food color.
Optional Decorations
  • 1 tbsp Edible Glitter Sprinkle on top for a magical shimmer.
  • 12 Chocolate Cones A quick alternative to fondant hats.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cupcake Tray
  • Cupcake Liners
  • Round Cutter

Method
 

Cupcake Preparation
  1. Cream together the butter and light soft brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time, followed by milk, ensuring each ingredient is well incorporated.
  2. Mix in dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until smooth.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line cupcake tray with liners. Pour batter into liners, filling about two-thirds full. Bake for about 18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Let cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack.
Fondant Hats Creation
  1. Roll out icing sugar to desired thickness (about 1/4 inch). Use a round cutter to create circles, then shape them into whimsical hats.
  2. Attach pieces together using a bit of edible glue or warm water.
Cupcake Assembly
  1. Once cupcakes are cooled, frost them with icing of choice. Carefully position fondant witch hats on top.
  2. Optional: Drizzle with chocolate or sprinkle with edible glitter for an extra festive touch.
