Although she is quite beautiful, and appropriate for today. Oh, and adorable too.
What I really meant by that were THESE CUPCAKES. They’re pretty awesome. Black, white, and green all over.

Witches Brew cupcakes: vanilla cupcakes with a green vanilla bean frosting. Simple. But SO GOOD.

Such fun. Oh, this time of year is a lovely time for baking, isn’t it? I’m always so sad when Halloween is over, and all my witches go away for another year. But I’m also really happy this Halloween. Why? Because Hurricane Sandy is gone and I can enjoy my absolute favorite holiday! It’s still a little windy, but thankfully she’s moving on. And so are we.
Black & white liners are from sweet estelle baking supply on Etsy. Vintagey toppers are so old, I have no idea where they’re from, but you can get similar ones here. As far as I know, Fentiman’s Curiosity Cola is sold at Fairway Market (but I’m sure the website lists other places). The table runner was a gift from my sweet friend Yoyo a few years ago. All the recipes needed can be found at the recipe index. Just a regular vanilla cupcake, and regular vanilla buttercream with one vanilla bean scraped into it. I wish you could see the vanilla flecks better in the photos!
I hope you all have a very happy and safe Halloween. See you in November!

I saw three witches
That bowed down like barley,
And straddled their brooms ‘neath a louring sky,
And, mounting a storm-cloud,
Aloft on its margin,
Stood black in the silver as up they did fly.
I saw three witches
That mocked the poor sparrows
They carried in cages of wicker along,
Till a hawk from his eyrie
Swooped down like an arrow,
Smote on the cages, and ended their song.
I saw three witches
That sailed in a shallop,
All turning their heads with a snickering smile,
Till a bank of green osiers
Concealed their grim faces,
Though I heard them lamenting for many a mile.
I saw three witches
Asleep in a valley,
Their heads in a row, like stones in a flood,
Till the moon, creeping upward,
Looked white through the valley,
And turned them to bushes in bright scarlet bud.
– “I Saw Three Witches”, Walter De La Mare

however I will certainly come again again.
Very nice article, exactly what I was looking for.
Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net
the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries
that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit
the nail upon the top and also defined out the
whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a
signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Some truly interesting information, well written and broadly user friendly.
I was recommended this website by way of my cousin. I am now not positive
whether or not this submit is written by him as nobody else know such special approximately my problem.
You’re amazing! Thanks!
I think the admin of this web site is truly working hard in favor
of his website, since here every data is quality based data.
First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself
and clear your head prior to writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying
to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Many thanks!
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
It’s going to be end of mine day, but before
finish I am reading this great article to increase my knowledge.
I loved as much as you’ll receive carried out right here. The sketch is attractive, your authored subject matter stylish. nonetheless, you command get got an nervousness over that you wish be delivering the following. unwell unquestionably come further formerly again since exactly the same nearly a lot often inside case you shield this hike.
