How to Make Witch's Hat Cupcakes

Whenever I hear the word "witch" I will always remember a girl named Caroline Pearce whom Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield suspected to be a witch back in second grade. Oh I do hope you know what I am talking about. It's book #33 on the Sweet Valley Kids series way back when... ummm.... hmmm... let's see... okay.. when I was young. There, I said it. :) 

So, for my dear Bake Happy readers who are younger (or older) and just can't relate, Sweet Valley is this series of books about twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield  who looks exactly the same but are different as night and day when it comes to their personalities. To cater to kids/teens of different ages, there are the Sweet Valley Kids, Sweet Valley Twins and Sweet Valley High books. My sister and I were into the Sweet Valley Kids series and every Saturday, we get to buy two from the series for 54 pesos at the National Bookstore in Harrison Plaza. These are the books that got me started on reading books and the culprit to me wearing ridiculously thick and heavy glasses up to now. 

I can't remember now how the story ended, (of course, Caroline is not a witch) but I remember there were chanting ("double double toil and trouble"), spells, toads (?), cauldrons and of course hats. Witches' hats. And here I am, so into the Halloween spirit, showing you how to make it in fondant.
