Trick or treat!

My jack-o-lantern for this year, Happy Halloween!
…
Last year I shared my recipe for pumpkin muffins that use up the cut-out pieces of the jack-o-lantern. I’ve been making them since I was in Kindergarten, the recipe is actually courtesy of my Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Blach. This year, I’ll share a recipe for toasted pumpkin seeds, another [...]

Creepy chocolate stout cupcakes with white chocolate “funny bones.”

I wanted to say before I started this… Vic Mizzy, the writer of the Addams Family theme, passed away earlier this month on October 17th at the age of 93. So R.I.P., Vic! Your music will live on forever. “So get your witches shawl on, a broomstick you can crawl on, we’re gonna make a [...]

Cupcakes, squashed ghosts, deflated frosting, & a dog in a witch hat.

What a title, huh? I outdid myself with that one. If you don’t read that title and then stick around to read the rest of this entry, even just out of just pure curiosity, well, you’re… probably very busy at work. Or you’re a very boring person.
I think Martha Stewart recipes are sort of like [...]

Coop’s devilishly delightful cupcakes.

Hearing: Jerry Lee Lewis – “Great Balls Of Fire”

As an artist, or at least as someone who’s been drawing/painting for most of her life, been interested in art for most of her life, went to art school and worked at a museum, I have certain favorite artists and styles of art. I don’t mean [...]

I wish you all…

A frightful, delightful,
Wary and scary,
Spooky yet kooky,
Creaky but freaky,
Terrifyingly sweet and most of all…

In the spirit of carving jack-o-lanterns, I give you a recipe that uses the cut out pumpkin pieces. I’ve had this recipe since I was in kindergarten- my teacher Mrs. [...]

Slimer’s fright night gorey-eyeballs cupcakes.

Ah, Halloween. Best night of the year in my humble opinion. Then again, anytime you can leave your house  in New York, see 5 zombies, 4 vampires, 7 witches and a bunch of ghosts, tell your friends about it (while you’re dressed as, say, a prostitute) and not be committed to a mental hospital or [...]

Mr. Bones, Mr. Bones, how do you feel Mr. Bones?

This is the coolest recipe/idea ever. Or at least one of them. Bones made of marshmallow- genius! Shaped like smaller humerus bones (aks “funny bones”), actually, or dog bones. A perfect addition to hot chocolate, or even for decorating a cake, or cupcakes. Or just for Halloween snacking. They’re super duper easy, fun to make [...]

Halloweenie “malevolent muffins.”

Sorta.

Okay, really they’re just muffins in Halloween liners and topped with some vintage toppers. They’re not malevolent at all. I have about 500 Halloween cupcake liners and 3 overripe bananas, so I figured might as well use ‘em.

Recipe can be found here. Stay tuned this week for 2, count ‘em 2 batches of Halloween cupcakes [...]

Moo cards & eyeballs, & schnitzel with noodles.

Okay maybe not schnitzel with noodles. I’m thinking of that song Julie Andrews sang in ‘The Sound of Music.’ But definitely Moo Cards and eyeballs. Today I got two packages in the mail. One from the wonderful Lyns (Sweet Cuppin’ Cakes Bakery & Cupcakery Supplies) and one from Foodbuzz. I was anticipating getting Lyn’s package, [...]

Frankencupcakes; eat them before they eat you.

As anyone who knows me & has a brain knows… Halloween is my favorite holiday. Yes, I love Christmas, too. I’m in no way a Grinch or Ebenezer. HOWEVER.. Halloween is the coolest mothaf’n holiday evAAARR. Any holiday where black is the predominant color and witches & ghosts & black cats prevail; I’m all about [...]
