Cream the butter and sugar together for about 5 minutes
Add the eggs and 2 tbsp of flour (to prevent curdling) and beat well for a further 2 minutes
Fold in the remaining flour and the cocoa powder
Pour into the cupcake cases
Bake in the oven for approx 20-25 minutes until cooked right through
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before adding the buttercream
*TO MAKE THE FROSTING*
Beat the butter in a bowl - I did mine in my Kenwood mixer - to soften it
Add the cream cheese and half of the icing sugar and beat, then adf the remaining icing sugar and the some orange food colouring - add as much as you think you need to give the shade of orange you prefer
Mix until you have a lovely smooth consistency
Fill 2 piping bags (I mine are small)
Top each cupcake
Then add a sweet to each one as decoration and your easy Halloween cakes are ready
