Trick or Treat!

Trick or treat, smell my feet....bring everyone something good to eat!

We had a Halloween party today at work. I organized it with the help of a couple other girls in the office. When we have parties at work, it's usually a pot luck...we work for the state and unfortunately, we don't have a party fund! Most people bring a little something to share with the office and we usually get a pretty good spread of food. So last night, I made spinach dip, mummy dogs, and snickerdoodle cupcakes! I've been asked for the recipe for the cupcakes a few times, so here it is!
The cupcake recipe is from Martha Stewart.  Mine came out a little dry. I think next time I'll substitute some canola oil for butter to make them a little bit more moist.
For the frosting, I didn't use Martha's 7 minute frosting. I made cinnamon cream cheese frosting!
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-4 cups powdered sugar (I used 3 1/2 cups)
In a bowl, combine the butter and cream cheese. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.  Add the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar (1 cup at a time). Beat until smooth and creamy. Delicious!
