Start by "blooming" the cocoa powder & espresso powder: This is where you add boiling hot water to the cocoa powder and espresso powder in a large bowl and whisk them together. The heat from the hot water actually brings out and intensifies the chocolatey-ness of the cocoa powder in a way that doesn't happen if you just add it with the flour later on. We are thrilled that a sequel is in the works and when we saw that the Grand Floridian at Disney World was offering these Hocus Pocus cupcakes filled with "peanut boo-tter" filling, we thought it would be fun to recreate a copycat version of them here for those of us who can't make the trip to enjoy them in person this season! Why you'll want to make this recipe Even novice cupcake bakers can be proud of their decorating skills with these ones. A simple tip, some food dye, and basic swirls are all you need to mimic the hairstyles of your favorite witches. Some edible glitter adds a magical sparkle that takes them over the top, but it's totally optional. To make the "Winnie" cupcakes: Pipe a medium-sized swirl covering the cupcake first. Then use the piping tip to pie small swirls on two sides of the base swirl to look like little buns.

Here is a step-by-step overview of the process to make this recipe with pictures to help you visualize the piping technique. The full recipe and instructions are in the printable recipe card below. Place the yellow sheet on the cutting mat. Select the yellow hair and turn off the rest. Cut and weed. Make the buttercream frosting. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing on low speed to incorporate, then increasing the speed gradually. Add just enough milk, one tablespoon at a time, to get the frosting to a nice, pipeable consistency that will still hold its shape.

Espresso powder: After lots of comments on my OG moist chocolate cupcakes about using hot coffee or espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor, I went ahead and used a little espresso powder in these. It really does add depth, although not so much that I think it's totally necessary. So if you want to skip it, you'll be just fine! Now layer on the orange hair and lips along with the yellow hair. Do this buy using the transfer tape. Be careful not to get the transfer tape on other items as it may lift. The smaller things like lips I usually use the weeding tool and place them on without transfer tape. To make the "Mary" cupcakes: Use the purple frosting to start piping a swirl covering the cupcake, like normal. But when you approach the top of the cupcake, intentionally draw the swirl off to one side for a lopsided, falling-over look that is reminiscent of Mary's corkscrew hairstyle.Dust with edible glitter & serve: For a magical sparkle, sprinkle the finished hocus pocus cupcakes with a light dusting of edible glitter for a shimmery effect that might be hard to see in my photos but is so fun in real life.
