a little halloween treat...
I have yet to carve a pumpkin this year, but I want to. I better get on it, halloween it creeping up soon and I've been wanting some warm toasted pumpkin seeds for sometime now and there's no better time. Perhaps some spicy garlic roasted seeds? I think that sounds just about right.
very vanilla cupcakes with vanilla bean whipped cream
very vanilla cupcakes recipe here
vanilla bean whipped cream
2 cups whipping cream
1tbs vanilla bean paste or beans from 1 pod
1/4 cup icing sugar
black gum balls for topping
-whip cream and vanilla paste in a mixer or if you have a power arm, feel free to mix it by hand, add icing sugar until stiff peeks.
I found these very cool halloween candy canes from Michaels craft store and this kinda creepy but fab milk glass vase from the thrift store, filled up with some black gum balls or other creepy candy turns it into something from Elvira's castle. Whether she had a castle or not, I'm not sure, but I could see it!
Are any of you very cool people doing something fun this halloween?

I'm going to be Marilyn Monroe for Halloween, and I can't wait to wear my $10 Goodwill dress and all the fancy jewelry I can find.
Cheers,
Rosa
ps: cute use of black gumballs!
LOVE the simple cupcakes, they are simple yet in that setting help create that spooky spooky look. Love it! I wish I could get my hands on some of those candy canes!
Happy Halloween!

I won't be doing anything for Halloween except baking cupcakes. Was going to go to a party but it's too far and I'm too lazy ;)
I prefer these to the gruesome ones floating around on the net.
enjoy yourself, we don't really celebrate Halloween here, only through blogospheres.

Have a fabulous weekend and a super Halloween!
Btw, this is my first time in your blog and I am loving it.
