For the frosting cream together the butter, icing sugar & vanilla extract until pale and fluffy . Using a palette knife or a piping bag and nozzle, smooth or pipe some frosting onto the top of the cupcakes.
Decorating ideas...
To make the witches hat - make a cone shape using the black icing and flatten the bottom for the brim, use a strip of green icing for a band around the hat then place on top of the cake.
To make the pumpkin - roll a ball of orange icing into a pumpkin shape and use the end of a teaspoon to make ridges then place on top of the cake, make a leaf shape using the green icing and stick to the pumpkin with a dab of water.
