I know Halloween isn’t that big in New Zealand but it *is* orange after all – so I made Halloween cupcakes! Couldn’t get orange food colouring for the icing but my mix of red and yellow seems to have worked out ok

The finished product! Looks better than last year’s thanks to the time taken to cut all the fruit up. Now we wait for pie time. Not sure whether to keep the fruit mince in the fridge or pantry. I kept it in the fridge last year but it seemed to make it quite hard and sticky. Might have to ask Mum.
