Halloween 2011

As soon as I spotted these cupcakes on Pinterest I knew I had to make them for Halloween. I thought they'd be ideal to give out for Trick or Treat and to sell on our Halloween themed cake stall at school.

NAILED IT.....not quite :)

Unfortunately things didn't go to plan and I didn't 'nail it' (have you seen the funny 'nailed it' posts on Pinterest and over at Kitschy Coo ?)

So time for Plan B.......

 

 

I'll stick to making the usual ones in future I think!

We had lots of children calling at the house for Trick or Treat, well over 50 so I am glad I made lots of cupcakes.  It was a lovely evening, all the children were very polite and well mannered which is surprising these days and made all the effort worthwhile.

Here is my son who is at Uni in Leeds in his Hallween costume, with a very scary mask .....

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween xx

I think kids get very bad press these days and the majority are really lovely - just the odd ones are gits, and they spoil it for the rest. We had loads of trick or treaters too. xxxx

I think all your cakes looked fab. Hope you raised lots of money for the school.

We had the best Halloween so far - I convinced my children to dress up but stay at home to give out treats, because if we all go out, who is left at home handing out the sweeties? That's my story, anyway. I think we must have had about the same number of visitors as you did - certainly at one point we were having the doorbell going every couple of minutes which is remarkable in such a small village!

Love the Halloween cakes.

For what it's worth, I think those scary face cakes of yours were fine! I bet they tasted lovely. :) x
