I get caught up in ogling images of all the amazing Halloween desserts and treats to make, but sometimes it’s hard to imagine having the time to make the perfect looking treat. Here are 10 amazing looking Halloween cupcakes that look like you’ve spent much way more time than it takes to make them. Many use cake mixes to save steps and have few ingredients required – giving you more time to enjoy eating them with your kids!

Mummy Cupcakes (via Sugar and Charm) These cute mummy mini cakes are simply piped with googly eyes.
Ghost Cupcakes (via Desserts by Juliette) Another way to pipe on a Halloween favorite character – simply add mini chocolate chips for the eyes.
