halloween treats

thanks to hurricane sandy, halloween has been rescheduled for today.  i figure it's a good day to share my halloween treats this year.


i found a pictures of these bloody cupcakes online and did my best to make them myself.  store-bought candy knives and strawberry syrup blood


brownie graveyard, also found online. i was lazy so instead of making gravestone-shaped cookies, i just used melting candy wafers for the graves. 

peanut butter (eye)balls!  covered and decorated with melted candy wafers

ghost cupcakes i found in a halloween magazine. ghosts made from fondant. i didn't have a rolling pin and didn't follow the directions to make these properly. i winged it, worked well enough!



jackolantern and mummy cake pops. these were a nightmare to make. i've found cakepops to be frustratingly time consuming.  these were supposed to be fast and simple but for some reason i couldn't seem to get the candy wafers to melt properly. at least they still look halloweeny!

cake pops

cake pops! the newest "art form" i've been playing with lately. here are my first three attempts.  babies (design from bakerella), zombies, and super mario.  they make really cute treats, but are unbelievably time consuming. those mushrooms took up an entire day to make. i'd say they're hard to make, but i can't decide whether or not i'm confusing hard with time consuming. a lot more practice and maybe my cake pops will look amazing and not so lumpy !
