It's been four long months since the heater fire.  We are almost ready to reopen.  Hopefully, the final code inspections can be scheduled for Friday.  If we get our C/O on Friday, we will be dancing in the streets.
Then the fun begins. Everything needs to be wiped down, walls, ceilings, showcases, racks.  That darn sheet rock dust is everywhere.  
In the mean time, I convinced Mike,  in his spare time ...lol, to embroider a shirt for one of our friends.  It's not a St. Patrick's day t shirt; but a St. Guido's Day t shirt.  Our friend has wanted one for years to wear on St. Patrick's Day. 

Halloween Cupcakes

Now that I have my Halloween t shirt embroidered and ready to wear.  It's time to choose a Halloween treat to make for our grandkids' Halloween celebration.  Since we are in the process of moving this year, I need a treat that is easy to make.  I know I could just purchase a ready made treat, but that is not my style.  Nonna's don't buy baked items.
Halloween cupcakes are the easiest treat to make and decorate.  My plan is to use a store box cake mix, bake the cupcakes, decorate them and freeze them about a week before Halloween. 

Yummy Mummy Cupcakes

The only thing you need to take off this dessert to enjoy is the wrapper.
To make them, follow these steps:

• Start with frosted store-bought or homemade cupcakes.
• Use a pastry bag with basket-weave tip to pipe on white frosting.
• Pipe red frosting on for the mummy's eyes.
• Make two dots with black frosting to make the pupils
• Note:  Use ready made frosting.
• Red and black food coloring  to make black and red frosting or purchase ready made cake decorating frostings.
