Add a touch of sweetly spooky charm with this Halloween cupcake design, topped with an orange pumpkin and stitched with slanted eyes and a jagged jack-o'-lantern grin. The pink frosting, green stem and neat cupcake wrapper soften the scare factor, making it a lovely choice for children’s autumn outfits, treat bags and party sewing. It suits anyone who likes Halloween motifs that feel cute and tidy rather than rough or gory.
This is a dense, heavily stitched applique with 10 thread colours, so it has a rich, filled-in look that stands out well on sweatshirts, aprons, tote bags and cushioned cotton quilts. The clear face details and layered colour areas give the pumpkin top real personality, while the wrapper keeps the cupcake shape crisp and easy to read from a distance. Stitch it on plain black, cream, tan or orange fabric if you want the pink frosting and jack-o'-lantern face to show at their best.
