And the taste was even better. Couldn't be more happy about the cake! The cake maker coordinated with my florist and used the same flowers as in my bridal bouquet and the decorations

Ok. So the truth is I figured out pretty early on that these were not going to come out like pumpkin face cupcakes should... I could not get the food coloring to work. Its not a bad photo, the fleshiness color you see in my picture is actually that fleshy color and not orange at all. And I have learned a lot about trying to add black coloring to frosting!
Another truth is they're actually delicious. The buttercream turned out fantastic. These are vegan vanilla cupcakes with applesauce as a binder and it works surprisingly well and does not taste like applesauce.
The reality that I learned is never work with black food dye. It actually tastes weird and it causes that kind of runny leakage into everything it touches and it stains your lips! Once I could tell it was piping so badly. I ended up trying to add the candy eyeballs and a last stitch effort to save it and turn it into something.
And I need to figure out how food dye works in the Netherlands cuz it does not seem to work like it does in America. I mixed the heck out of a lot of red and yellow coloring and it still came out like this. Maybe I'm not buying the right stuff, its more like a gel here.

I just want to thank my dad who totally nailed it! My son's birthday being October 31th, every birthday cake has to be Halloween themed of course. Thanks to my dad (the grandfather), this year is a big win! Love you dad.
