I tried so hard to make these “spooktacular” (in the words of my sweet friend, CB), but I failed. I had these awesome Halloween stencils to use on the top, but due to the size of the cupcakes and my lousy sugar shaker, it just looks like a little powdered sugar accidentally landed on the cupcakes. 
Oh well, they were still very tasty and ones I’ll definitely make again (with the icing, dang it!!). Click over to CB’s blog, because her cupcakes are truly AWESOME… and spooktacular. 
Props to CB of I*heart*Food4Thought for this week’s TWD choice… Dorie’s Chocolate Chocolate Cupcakes!

No frosting?
You HAVE to make it!! But, with semi-sweet instead of bittersweet. 
i think they look tasty but then again i’m not the hugest fan of icing. i know, i know…
oh and i have the same halloween towel
Yours rose really high, they look yummy and I love your wrappers!
Wow – those cupcakes are the highest ones I have seen all day – did you use super powers to get them to rise so high?
And you reminded me, I have Halloween stencils too!
Umm… frosting must be in a 1:1 ratio with a cupcake, don’t you know that?
They look tasty though, even lacking frosting.
oh you SO have to make the glaze next time
but they still look great without it!
Maybe no stencils, but those little towels are awfully cute, and I would take those over the chocolate any day…LOL! Your cakes look nicely risen and beautifully presented in those cute little wrappers…very nice touch.
Cute wrappers and photos! Looks like they turned out great!
I am impressed by how tall your cupcakes rose. Nice job!! Hope you liked them.
Your cupcakes have the cutest little domes! Great job!
My daughter would love you for not putting the frosting on!
I think they look spook-tacular to me! The setting is perfect!
yours look delish! I like you fall/Halloween photo too.
