Tips for a good spider cupcake recipe for Halloween in a airfryer

• It is important to sift the ingredients dry to avoid lumps later
• When adding all the ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, try to be careful not to spoil it.
• I have used a mold of 6 cupcakes and the cupcake or muffin paper was with Halloween decoration
• Do not fill the molds to the top because as the cupcake grows it will overflow (about 3/4 of the mold is fine)
• Prick the toothpicks in the center of the cupcake to check that they are doneif the toothpick comes out stained, leave two more minutes and so on
• Have the chocolate noodles ready to put them after the cocoa cream (before it dries)
• Try to place the licorice simulating the legs of a spider
