These black cat cupcakes are terrifyingly tasty! “The recipe is inspired by Hocus Pocus, which is a Halloween classic and one of my favorite movies,” Half Baked Harvest Every Day author Tieghan Gerard tells Us of her showstopping treat. “The cupcake itself is made with brown sugar, pumpkin, and of course, plenty of pumpkin spice. And the frosting is a nice and simple cream cheese frosting that goes perfectly.” While adults love them, they’re an even bigger hit with kids. Adds Gerard: “It’s a great way to get them involved in the baking fun.”
