Hello friends! Happy Halloween! I’ve been offline for the
past few days because my sister dearest and I were prepping for a cute little
Halloween get together and well… we can get a little carried away with our
decorating sometimes! (And then there’s the whole vacuuming and cleanliness nonsense
that you have to attend to so your friends don’t think you’re gross!)
Anyway, of course I am here today to show you all the
decorations and treats we put together! It’s basically a compilation of last
minute projects and speedy sweets in case your party prep is a little behind
schedule, as ours always is! Oh, and all the gold and shiny. *heart eyes emoji*
(Cue
the playlist.)
So food first? Obviously. (Yes, I just answered my own
question. That is just how passionate I am about it.)
We used my cake
mix cookies recipe in chocolate cake and white cake with mini chocolate
chips! And to get fancy (we had to), food dye, gold sprinkles, and this super
nifty food-safe
Color Mist in gold!
Next up was pumpkin dip, which is basically light, fluffy
pumpkin pie filling that is a) perfect for graham crackers and b) seriously
addicting. We adapted this recipe by
using ½ can (15 oz) pumpkin pie mix (instead of regular canned pumpkin and the
spices), 16 oz cool whip, and 1 package vanilla pudding mix! Just mix it all
together (and you know that it’s the best of both worlds… childhood.)
And then they were these yummy little cinnamon sugar
bites resultant of my failures in the kitchen. I will be sharing the (insanely
easy) recipe for those soon!
Last but not least, the amazing
Elfin Cheesecake, which was sadly consumed before I could photograph it.
Not to worry though, our cake decorating kind of failed anyway, so you aren’t
at too much of a loss! (But seriously, make
this.)
Okay, okay so now décor! Our key players were a bag of
plastic bones spray-painted gold (this paint), my mini
Cinderella pumpkins, cheap purple tablecloths, black lace and all manner of
nonsensical glass bottles and pretty, creepy goblets. And then I threw flowers
and confetti everywhere (basically my life), and Sam made the super cute Wi-Fi
password signs! So here is a deluge of photos of all that:
I hope it’s not too late to for you to throw together
some fun Halloween décor! Let me know how you have been or will be decorating
this year!
Stay lovely,
