Day 304

Like I said yesterday, today was Halloween snack day at work.  We had more snacks and treats than you could shake a stick at...from meatballs to s'more bites and spooky grog to wash it down.

But this lovely creation was Bre's contribution. She made a 'pumpkin' cake, by making a chocolate bundt cake that had bits of Snickers candy inside.  Then she frosted it orange, and drizzled caramel on top, and some more Snickers bits.  Then she took an ice cream cone, stuck it upside down into the hole in the center and frosted it green for the stem.  Pretty clever...and did I mention DELICIOUS!?!  Thanks Bre!

Day 303

Tomorrow is our Annual Halloween FAC Snack Attack Day.  An excuse for all day snacking at the office.  As usual, my contribution is cupcakes.  Tonight I made these Halloween fun-fetti cupcakes with orange colored cream cheese frosting, with orange and black sprinkles.  The cupcake liners and the decorative picks were from a little gift pack that Billie gave me for my birthday...they sure did come in handy in making these super cute and spooky cupcakes!!

Day 267

I just couldn't do it...I couldn't wait until October 1st to decorate the house for Halloween.

I didn't go all out, I only put out the stuff that is stored inside the house.  I still have two totes full of Fall stuff in the garage.  I'll save that for another day.  For now, I just rearranged the furniture into its Fall/Winter location, and put out the little stuffed critters (like spooky kitty in the chair), the leaf table runner, and a couple other odds and ends to get in the spirit.

Bring on cool nights, red and orange leaves, jackets and sweaters...I am so ready for Fall!!

Carmel Apple Cupcakes

Mmmmm...doesn't that sound so good? Carmel Apple Cupcakes! They were good, but just not as great as I had hoped.

We had a snack day at work for Halloween, otherwise known as FAC Snack Attack Day, and I knew I would bring some kind of cupcake. I searched the internet over for a different recipe and found this particular one that had apples and carmel right in the batter, maple syrup in the frosting, and then I added a carmel drizzle to top it off. They really did look and taste like autumn!

Happy Halloween!!
