Fun Halloween Recipes

I saw this today on Facebook.  It's so seriously disgusting, but also awesome.  How often do you say that?  Only around Halloween, my friends.
 

BRAINS IN A JAR

 

 

 
I also found some Candy Corn Cupcake Trifles on Tablespoon, which are somewhat similarly made, but I must say, a lot more appetizing.  So for those of you not wishing to gross out your guests, here is the recipe:

Finally, I saw these seriously cute cupcakes the other day on Skinnytaste, another favorite food blog.  So if you're looking for a cute Halloween treat that isn't so bad on the waistline, check out these:

Enjoy!

 



Cupcakes!!!

Just wanted to share some cupcake ideas that I found while wandering around the internet.  These would all make great birthday cake alternatives for your child's party.  Cupcakes are so much easier to serve and clean up after.  They might even inspire a theme for you!  

Dr Seuss Cupcakes

Farm Animal Cupcakes

Cowboy Cupcakes

Robot Cupcakes

Jungle Safari Cupcakes

Paris Party Cupcakes

Garden Flower Cupcakes

Owl Cupcakes

Hawaiian Luau Cupcakes

Circus Cupcakes

Halloween Pumpkin Cupcakes

Of course, if you don't have the time or inclination to make or purchase these kind of cupcakes, cupcake toppers are always a great option!  They are easy to use, and although I love the look of the cupcakes I posted above, a lot of them use fondant and I'm not a big fan of the taste of fondant.

Happy partying!

Wonderland Tea Party Invitation

A friend of mine attended a Wonderland tea party themed bridal shower a few weeks ago. They served tea in china tea cups and the guests kept the cups as parting gifts. What a great idea! It sounded like so much fun, I was inspired to make my own Wonderland tea party themed invite. And here it is!

 I also made some matching custom cupcake toppers to go with it:

And non-custom cupcake toppers

Not into cupcakes?  Well, apparently, "Mad Hatter cakes", also called topsy-turvy cakes, are very popular right now, and would be a great addition to your Wonderland tea party.

These whimsical, gravity defying cakes are not only delicious, but also bring creativity and fun to your party!  They're perfect for weddings and bridal showers, but also for birthdays and other celebrations.

And this one would go great with our Hippie Chick themed party invitations!

All this talk about cake and cupcakes makes me want some cake!  I better stop typing and go work on something else.  Happy Sunday everyone!
