Spooky Halloween!

just over two weeks after the fact, i have the Halloween party photos! first up, scary and scared jack-o'lanterns.

with the lights on...





and with the lights off.






here's the take-home guest goodies...


the little cupcakes, both chocolate and red velvet, and the made-from-scratch Monster Fingers (soft pretzel dough) and Pumpkin rolls (just coloured dinner rolls)...



you can see sylvia eyeing my creations in the background.

here are a couple other creations (little cakes with frosting). the spikes are pocky -- or, rather, the Korean pocky equivalent i picked up at the store.


the real reason i had the party, though, was for an excuse to make these:


the cakes were chocolate and red velvet, with chocolate and vanilla icing (food colouring in the vanilla), and their legs were made of licorice. i really wanted black bendy-straws for the legs but could find none... so the licorice ended up snapping and the spiders look half-squished. i made a half-dozen or more of them. the best part was finding a plate with just legs and red velvet cake crumbs... that poor, poor spider.
