Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year! These RIP Halloween Cupcakes are the perfect way to make your own spooky graveyard. They will definitely be the life of the party.
These Halloween tombstone cupcakes are also a great treat for classroom parties. Pair these cupcakes with a synonym lesson where you make a graveyard of dead "boring" words, and fill the gravestones with "interesting" words.
