Halloween

We got into the spirit of things over the weekend.  The weather was wet and dreary, so we spent some time making Halloween-themed crafts.


We made chocolate cupcakes and topped them with a circle of fondant icing.  I bought coloured writing icing as I knew these would be easier for the children to use - however, I was disappointed that the effect only lasted a day, and by the next morning the "writing" icing had dissolved into sludge on top of the fondant.  I won't be buying them again!

The children love carving pumpkins every year.  Well, they love making the mess; Dad loves carving the pumpkins.


I have no idea how we ever managed to carve turnips as children - pumpkins are enough work as it is!


These are some of my cupcake efforts.


And this is one of Dad's pumpkin efforts.

I'm glad it's Halloween today; there's a distinct smell of "vegetable" in my living room and I'll be glad when the pumpkins make their way into the compost bin!

Best Wishes
Debbie
