Halloween is just around the corner


Start practicing your cute food now!

These spiderweb cupcake toppers are super cute to bring to your kiddos class on Halloween, unless your at a Christian academy like ours, and they don't celebrate or acknowledge it at school. Guess ill have to bring them to the neighbor kids instead :)

Thanks Donna for this great idea! http://www.countryliving.com/cm/countryliving/data/spiderwebs.pdf
Here are some things I had for my sons 1st birthday which was a costume party! Super easy.

these are just a chocolate chocolate chocolate mess waiting to happen. brownies frosted with chocolate frosting, with white frosting piped to make skulls on top with red hots as the eyes and mouth!

If you dont have time to do the spider webs - just make some plain chocolate icing on chocolate cup cakes and white on white cupcakes, and simply add a spider ring to the top of the choc cupcakes, and buy some red gel to draw veins on the eyes with a dab of thick blue icing with a brown peanut m&m for the eyeball! super cute.


also the cookie cake was about 1 and 3/4 cookie rolls, baked on a stone, trim the edges with knife to make nice and perfect after it bakes, in case it goes over edge! you can do choc chip or even super cookie dough. then i just made a sugar and cream cheese frosting enough to cover the cake thin- then used black tube of frosting to draw several circles on it- then used a toothpick from the middle to the outside to create a simple web. throw some more plastic spiders on there and call it a day!

to decorate the room we used spider webs you know the ones that stretch like no ones business! threw like a bazillion fake spiders in there. we also strung about 30 huge bats from the ceiling, used black old netting on the table and so forth.
