3. How to Make Wednesday Morticia’s Midnight Rose Garden Cupcakes

Step 1: Prepare the cupcake batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with dark-themed cupcake liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, mixing well. Carefully incorporate the boiling water into the batter — it will thin out, but that’s normal for moist cupcakes.

Step 2: Bake the cupcakes

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.

Step 3: Prepare the gothic frosting

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Mix in heavy cream and a few drops of food coloring to create a deep, gothic hue. Using a piping bag fitted with your favorite decorative tip, frost the cupcakes in swirling, mysterious patterns to evoke Morticia’s elegance and darkness.
