When I was a young girl I was very scared of leaving a gap between the pulled curtains. My friend at the time told me a story that there's a creature that flies at night around the houses. The creature has 3 heads and every night it searches for a gap in your curtains to get into the house. When it's lucky, it eats three heads of the family members and leaves just one alive...
After the creature eats 3 heads of the family it attacked those heads become creatures heads and now it has 6 heads and this goes on and on.. Seriously?? Someone flying around with like hundread heads on and no one notices..

I did believe this for ages and it scared me a lot, I even had a peg to clip my curtains together just to make sure there's certainly no gap left. Now I think that the creature somehow would have to get through the window first.
That was then - childhood full scary stories and now there's Halloween not that scary at all :) Fun for kids as for adults too!
Cupcake recipe:
- 150 g butter, softened
- 150 g caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 150 g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 2-3 tbsp milk
For the fondant icing
- 300 g icing sugar
- 3 tbsp water
- black food colouring
Method
1. Turn on the oven and heat to 180 degrees. Choose 12 pretty fairy cake (or small cupcake) liners and place them in a fairy cake/muffin tin.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and mix in the vanilla essence.
3. Stir in the flour swiftly and with a light touch. Don't overmix. Add a couple of spoons of milk to keep the mix from being too thick and dense. It should just about drop off a spoon.
4. Working quickly, fill the cake liners. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cakes are nicely risen and golden.
5. Remove the cakes and let them cool on a rack.
6. To prepare the icing, mix the water into the icing sugar and give it a good stir until it is smooth and glossy. If you wish, you can add a few drops of food colour to tint the icing.
