Make this Halloween more magical with fun Halloween Minnie Mouse Witch cupcakes for your favorite little mouse lover! When Halloween comes around everyone loves to dress in costume, and a Halloween Minnie Mouse Witch cupcakes will be the life of the dessert table.
If you don’t have the time to make cupcakes or frosting from scratch, you can always buy the boxed cupcake mix and pre-made frosting. You will still need food coloring or cocoa powder to color the frosting. Alternatively, you can also just use candy corn in place of the orange fondant for the witch hats.

What a great recipe. These will be a great Halloween treat for my grandchildren. They will just love them.
These are so adorable, it’d be a shame to eat them….ok maybe not…NOM, NOM, NOM!
(Minnie Mouse Witch Cupcakes) These cupcakes are so cute for Halloween, I am going to make these for our annual Halloween party at our local VFW club this year.
These are just stinkin’ adorable!! I love them and though I have never worked with fondant before I think it would be so worth the effort. I even think that if you did some with purple it could be Mickey (at least I think it was purple he wore). My husband works with a whole group of sweet lovers and I would love to surprise them with these. Thanks!
