What is a Cupcake Push Up Pop?
How to Make Witch Cupcake Push Up Pops
- Before adding the cupcakes, make sure to draw the creepy witch face onto the push up pop (directions and free template below).
- Add a little frosting in the bottom of each push up pop.
- Press a cake round on top of the frosting.
- Add another layer of frosting.
- Add another cake round.
- Top with frosting.
- Put on cap, add witch hat adorned with spider webs and small spiders.
—NOTE—
I found the 4-inch felt witch hats at Joann Fabric and Craft Store. If you don’t have a Joann Craft Store, google 4 inch felt witch hats and a lot of other places to purchase the hats will come up.
Mini Cupcakes VS Sheet Cake
TWO OPTIONS FOR THIS HALLOWEEN PARTY IDEA
- MINI CUPCAKES: Using a mini cupcake pan line with 5 dozen mini cupcake liners. Fill each liner ¾ full. Bake @350° for 15 minutes. Trim edges if the cupcakes bake too big for the push up pop container.
- SHEET CAKE: Use a 11½ x 15½ inch baking pan, lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Let cool completely. Using a 1-5/8 inch round cookie cutter, cut at least 45 rounds. Place rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze (for at least 2 hours). Slice rounds in half lengthwise. Put rounds back in freezer until ready to use.
How to Add a Witch Face to A Jar or Push Up Pop Container
WITCH FACE TEMPLATE BELOW
I love how the green cupcakes and frosting shows through to create a green faced witch. You can draw your own face or use my template. Click→ HERE for the witch face template. The hat is the perfect size for the lid of a push up pop.
- Print out the template or draw your own either on a piece of paper or directly onto the jar or push up pop container.
- If you choose to print out or draw on paper, roll the paper to fit in the container.
- Use a permanent marker to draw on the witch face (see how to remove the marker below).

Baking in a Jar
MAKE SURE TO ADD THE WITCH FACE BEFORE ADDING THE BATTER AND BAKING. The marker will stay on during the baking process. You may need to touch it up a bit but that’s all. THE RIGHT JAR FOR THE JOB: YOGURT JAR: The Oui Yogurt from Yoplait is a good size to use for the witch hat. The hat will sit on top. TALL (6ounce) BABY FOOD JAR: Also a nice size jar that will give you plenty of room for the witch face to be added. HERE’S HOW: Preheat oven to 350°. Fill the jars half way—NOTE: Make us sure you only fill them half way otherwise they will rise too far up to add frosting. Did your cupcakes rise too far? No worries just take a spoon and scoop some of the cake out to make room for your frosting. No one will be able to tell the difference. Bake 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
