Det går fint å sløyfe valnøttene hvis du vil ha gulrotmuffins uten nøtter.

Cupcakesene blir finest om du sprøyter ostekremen på muffinsene med en kakesprøyte. Jeg har her brukt en sprøytetut med stor åpning og mange små tagger rundt. Kakesprøyter med ulike store tuter selges i noen kjøkkenutstyrsbutikker og nettbutikker (se tips under Lenker). Det samme gjelder oransje konditorfarge.

Se også "Spooky Cupcakes" som er basert på samme oppskrift, men med hvit ostekrem.

IT'S HALLOWE'EN

"It's Hallowe'en,
The lamp is lit,
And 'round the fire
Is where we sit,
A-telling ghost tales
Bit by bit,
'Til somebody says "Shhhhhhh!"
What's that a-peeping
'Round the kitchen door?
What's that a-creeping
'Cross the bedroom floor?
What's that a-sweeping
Down the corridor?
Oooooh! It's a ghost!

We will not go
To bed 'til morn,
We're drinking cocoa,
Popping corn,
And laughing 'til our
Sides are torn,
'Til somebody says "Shhhhhhh!"
What's that a-peeping
'Round the kitchen door?
What's that a-creeping
'Cross the bedroom floor?
What's that a-sweeping
Down the corridor?
Oooooh! It's a ghost!

The doorbell rings,
A witch I see,
And with her, black cats,
One, two, three,
And one of them says
"Boo!" to me,
'Til somebody says "Shhhhhhh!"
What's that a-peeping
'Round the kitchen door?
What's that a-creeping
'Cross the bedroom floor?
What's that a-sweeping
Down the corridor?
Oooooh! It's a ghost!"
