For the witch cupcakes, first prepare the muffins. To do this, bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan, pour in the semolina and lower the temperature. Then simmer with the lid on for about 10 minutes and remove from the heat.
Using a sharp kitchen knife, chop the chocolate into coarse pieces.
Mix flour with baking powder and add to the semolina together with all the remaining ingredients.
Line a muffin baking tray with paper cups and fill them with batter to about an inch below the rim. Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the caramel for the caramel buttercream. Melt the sugar in a saucepan until it has almost completely lost its granular structure and then pour in the whipped cream. Continue to simmer over medium heat until the cream and sugar have combined homogeneously, then allow to cool.
Next, mix butter, powdered sugar, some food coloring and cream cheese and add the caramel sauce. Now place the buttercream in the refrigerator for some time until it has firmed up.
Pour the cooled buttercream into a piping bag and pipe it onto the cupcake. Place the ice cream stanitzel as a hat on the buttercream, glue on a face with licorice strings hair, and other candies.
Store the witch cupcakes in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
