Hiya folks! I just wanted to share a peek at the set up for our Halloween party Friday night. Lots and lots of junk food, fake cobwebs and spooky orange’ness. FUN. You see my sister-in-law Jess is born on Halloween. And every few years we have a birthday dinner for her with costumes, creepy things and fake blood. Lots and lots of fake blood.
This year Australia was certainly much more on board than previous years. I’m completely okay with that. It made buying useless crap SO much easier. I know others aren’t. Not so much anyway. But you know what? Another reason to entertain friends, party and laugh. I’m onboard with that. Though don’t get me wrong I wish it wasn’t so easy to get onboard with the whole spending crap loads of money. Which we did. Willingly. Maybe I’ll make it more low key next time. Haha.
I’m off! Enjoy all the piccies.
Happy birthday Jess!

I just loveeee this! What a great set up!! 🙂 xx
Thank Karrine! It was SUCH a great night. x
If you made the cake toppers, I am impressed! Also, CHOCOLATE SPIDERS OMG!! Have not had them in YEARS! Yum! Now I want one haha
Oh goodness, not me. You know I can’t be trusted with fondant. 😉
Or chocolate spiders either it turns out. HA.
Haha! Love it! My father was really cranky about Aussies taking up Halloween because he says it’s not our tradition. I say any excuse for a dress up and a celebration, is a good excuse.
I hear you. Tell him Suger said to lighten up. 😉
A first time out trick or treating for us in the village. A big party organized by a friend and around 20 kids, parents and grandparents in the hall at Bobbio. Then we walked around the village gathering homemade treats, a Halloween I’ll never forget!! I’ll pm you a photo I even scared myself lol
PS I think you’d better start a cooking blog, these cakes look incredible xx
dolcetto o scherzetto (trick or treat) x
Naaaaw sounds lovely. Maybe we could make it for a Halloween one year. Since I’d freeze at Christmas. Haha. I’d love the pic. Sounds awesome.
And NO WAY. These are purchased. Haha. Pumpkin via Woolworths and main cake by my sil’s bestie who does all our cakes.
Childhood flashback…..chocolate spiders hell yeah.
Did you make the cake?
You’re so lovely to throw a party for her and go to all that effort.
Chocolate spiders rock! My personal favourite.
NO, I didn’t. Gosh. Not that talented. Haha. Pumpkin via Woolworths and main cake by my sil’s bestie who does all our cakes.
We love a good excuse for a party. It was fun!
That looks like a super cool time.
Everything looks yummy.
