How to make Haunted Mansion cupcakesWhen I thought of all my Disney fans and favorite rides, I couldn’t help but want to combine my love for Minnie Mouse with one of my favorite rides: Haunted Mansion. Well, these Haunted Mansion cupcakes managed to do exactly that so you can frightfully delight anybody with a sweet tooth. They will look so cute at any Halloween party!

To save time, I recommend making the chocolate cupcakes with a box mix. The decoration process takes a bit of effort and time, but I promise your dedication will pay off.
