Halloween idea # 2

Here is another Halloween idea for you in your preparations. Either for party food or for treats - they will taste good.

These ideas were from 'Michael's' in USA a few years ago. They are so cute and would be very easy to make. The basic cup cake recipe could be used (see below) or buy ready made cup cakes/fairy cakes and then decorate them. I bought Halloween (spider web) cup cake/muffin cases in Matalan for £2.00 this year.



Basic cup cake recipe: Makes 24
Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 20 minutes.

200gm Soft butter
200gm Caster sugar
4 medium eggs
200gm Self raising flour.
Flavourings optional.

Preheat oven to 180c, fan 160c or gas 4.
Put the butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and cream together until light and fluffy, by hand or using a beater.
Add one egg at a time and mix until all eggs used.
Stir in flour - a little at a time and mix well.
Divide mixture into cases and bake for 18-20 minutes.
Decorate with frosting or pipe coloured icing.

Our Halloween party a few years ago, gave the grandchildren - and adults a reason to dress up and have some fun. Here is one of my favourite photos of 2 of my grandsons both dressed as Dracula.

I used this photo to make a layout and I submitted it to a UK scrapbook magazine - Scrapbook Inspirations. It was featured in the October issue 2007.

Have fun with your Halloween preparations.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Check in again soon for more ideas.
