Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes, alternating colors as you wish.

Use gray frosting to pipe hair on one side of the cupcake.
Place the hat on top of cupcake.

Notes
Make Minis: Make mini cupcakes with oreo cookies and a chocolate kiss as the brim of the hat. Use a kiss candy for center of the cupcake, making easy Halloween treats.
Different Cake Mix: Try devils food, milk chocolate or any flavor that you enjoy for these easy Halloween cupcakes.
Variation tip: Make the witch hats glam with glitter and sparkly sprinkles for cool Halloween parties.
Alternate ingredient: Add nuts for crunch or try also some chocolate chips. White chocolate or even dark chocolate will work well for these witch hat Halloween cupcakes.
Dietary consideration tip: Sugar free frosting or decorative candies can be great in this recipe. They will be a huge hit.
Plastic Bag: In place of a piping bag or pastry bags use a plastic bag for this easy treat.
