I am so happy to share with you all how easy it is to create these Jack O Lantern Cupcakes using the Roundabouts Cupcake Sleeves I carry on my website. I had so much fun baking and decorating some fall treats the other day so I could share them with all of you just in time for the Fall Season.

If you are not familiar with Roundabouts Cupcake Sleeves I will tell you a little about them. They are Self Adhesive Cupcake Wraps that wrap around your Cupcake. They are so simple to use and bring that something extra special to your Cupcake. There are tons of design available to choose from.

For this post I will be showing you the Roundabouts Jack O Lantern Cupcake Sleeves. And as the Roundabouts Saying saying goes: Wrap It, Top It and Go… It is that EASY !!!

Here is what I used to create my Jack O Lantern Cupcakes:

Cupcakes of Course – Any flavor would work, I used Vanilla.
White or Vanilla Frosting
Orange Sugar Sprinkles
Roundabouts Jack O Lantern Cupcake Sleeves
Pretzel Rods
Green Gumdrops

Here are all my ingredients less my Cupcakes and Frosting. For the Pretzel Rods I actually used the Honey Wheat ones because I liked the Twist they have in them which is perfect for your Pumpkin Stem and my daughter also loves those, but you can use any Pretzel Rod you like.

Bake and cool your Cupcakes. Once cool Frost your cupcakes using White or Vanilla Frosting and while it is still tacky dip the top of your Cupcake into the Orange Sugar Sprinkles to coat the top really well. Then take your Self Adhesive Roundabouts Jack O lantern Cupcake Sleeve and wrap it around your Cupcake.

Then break your Pretzel Rod in half and add place the broken end in the middle of the Cupcake for your Pumpkin Stem. Then I took my Green Gumdrop and cut a piece of it off in an angle to become my Pumpkin Stem leaf. Just stick it on next to the Stem and you are done. How EASY is that?

These Jack O lantern Cupcakes are so darn cute and would make a great treat at your Halloween Party or any other Fall Party. They are also a fun treat the kids can make themselves as a Halloween Party Activity.
