Halloween candy table

This weekend we had a neighborhood “sweets” potluck. It’s our way of getting together one last time before we all go into hibernation for the winter. {wink} This was our candy table for the kids: crashing witch cupcakes, mummy cupcakes, witch hat cookies… and oh yes, the flying bats over the table were inspiration from Home & Garden Magazine’s October issue. Super easy to make from construction paper and easy to hang with a few straight pins.

And this is just a shot of the carmel apples I made and my son’s favorite… gummy worms! Yum! (Note the simple and economical embellishments… ribbon can work wonders to a plain cake plate or square vase.)

So the other day I was working up some spindly spider treats, well today I’m sharing all things witchy… perfect for our martinis & mayhem collection.

Check out these witch shoe favors! They’re adorable and could easy be converted into really great bachelorette favors too. {wink} Next are cheddar witch fingers! Yum!

And what about these great witch hat cookies!? They’re super simple to whip up. And last but not least, a green witch cupcake.

Happy baking and don’t forget to let the little ones get in the kitchen too this holiday season… all the desserts don’t have to be perfect. This is as much a reminder for you as it is for me. {wink} Enjoy!

Our little neighborhood Halloween party is this weekend and of course I’ll be using a number of things from my own shoppe. This year, it’s going to be all about the bats from napkins and plates to candles and lanterns. {wink}
