Since we got married, my hubby has been bugging me to make cinnamon buns. I was so obsessed with perfecting my cupcakes, I kept telling him another time. Well I finally made them and WOW! I should have made them sooner. They came out so moist and sweet and gooey. I will DEFINITELY make these again.

This year for Halloween my husband had the greatest suggestion. He said why don't we invite some friends over and watch some Halloween movies. That got me thinking. Why don't I make cupcakes to go along with each movie we are going to watch? I am so excited about my cupcakes. I think they came out great! They are Pumpkin Pecan Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting. YUM! I also made chocolate transfers (my first time ever!) of a character from each movies. You'll find the pics and recipes below. Enjoy and have a happy and safe Halloween!
