Must-Have Halloween Cupcake Supplies

Before we start to make our Halloween cupcakes it’s a good idea to gather the necessary supplies. This is our list of must-have items for baking cupcakes.

  • Cupcake Pan– My favorite is the USA Pan muffin pan. It’s made in the USA and uses silicone in place of Teflon. They are easy to clean and you don’t even have to use liners.
  • Halloween Sprinkles– Having a nice selection of Halloween sprinkles on hand is a must! It’s the easiest way to decorate your cupcakes.
  • Halloween Cupcake Liners- While if you have the pan I suggested you don’t have to use liners they can still be a nice touch. Amazon has a great selection of Halloween cupcake liners to choose from.
  • Ice Cream Scoop- An ice cream scoop is the easiest way to fill your cupcake pan! It helps you get even amounts and reduce mess.

Once you have these basic supplies you are ready to pick your Halloween cupcake recipe and gather your ingredients.

You can skip the store by using Instacart to deliver your ingredients straight to you. I use Instacart for almost all of my grocery shopping these days and it saves me so much time. And if you haven’t tried Instacart yet you can get free delivery on your first 3 orders.
