Clearly a “nailed it” post. These were so cute. We saw a post on Not Quite Nigella for Voodoo Doll cookies and thought they were adorable. We used a sugar cookie mix to make these little Zombie cookies. Fatima did a great job with the decorations and improvised when we lost a few limbs. We had a few mummy cookies, mostly zombies, and human victims. When one of the cookies lost…
These were too cute. Wilton sells these adorable little edible eyes. So we made some sugar cookies, dyed the dough, baked, and then added the eyes (RIGHT AFTER THEY CAME OUT OF THE OVEN). While we loved our little monster eye cookies, we totally adore Lil’ Luna’s.…
Dear Martha Stewart, we loved your Spiked Apple Cider Recipe. However, it was not strong enough. We doubled the rum. xoxo 1 Gallon Apple Cider 1 can frozen lemonade concentrate 2 cups spiced rum Decorative Eye balls optional…
Details, details, details. One thing that guests love to talk about are the details. From the little witch hats on the cupcakes, to the broom stick stirrer in their drinks, guests notice the details. These decorations for setting up Halloween around the house, will fill up space + they are easy DIY projects. HEAD IN JAR: Yes, that is my wife. We took panoramic shot of her, put it in Photoshop for some…
When you’re hosting a party, the last thing you want to do is spend most of your time decorating food. You have a million other things to do like clean up the mess in the kitchen and make sure everything is in its place. These wicked witch cupcakes are so cute and easy to make. If you’re going to make cupcakes, spruce them up with witches hats and straws. I…
When you’re tapped out of time (or your wallet), these easy frightful food decorations will come to the rescue. BROOM PARKING ONLY: We’ve made these for the last few years. We knew we were going to have a lot more people at this year’s party, we planned to make a ton. Just take a pretzel stick and push it right into a Reese’s miniature cup. SPIDER EGGS: Go out and…
Halloween is right around the corner! This past weekend, we hosted our annual Marquis Halloween Party, and there were some amazing Halloween costumes. It’s weird to think that only a year ago, at last year’s Halloween Party, we announced our engagement. And now, about a month later, we celebrated as newly weds! More on that at some point, I PROMISE! Every year, we strongly encourage our guests to come in…
In the spirit of Halloween, we’re kicking off a fun partnership with Rover.com and PicMonkey! If you’re a frequent reader, then you know I love my dog Hayden. You could say obsessed? But who doesn’t love their pets?! For our Halloween party last year, we dressed Hayden up as Eli Manning: We’re teaming up with Rover.com and PicMonkey for their #FrankenPet Halloween contest. Share photos of your pets in their…
Need some last minute Halloween ideas? I saw this cute idea on Pinterest and made them for my Halloween party. If you want to make some edible, tasty witch brooms, take pretzel sticks and insert them into upside-down mini Reese’s peanut butter cups. These will fly right off the plate. For our cupcakes, we placed creepy eyes and ears on top of these delicious red velvet cupcakes. And if you…
A summer fav, Sangria is a popular wine “punch.” It first started with the Romans (around 200 B.C.) when they arrived in Spain, planting vineyards as they conquered the country. But it wasn’t until 1964 that Sangria made an official appearance in the United States when it was brought to the World’s Fair held in New York City. Today, sangria is enjoyed around the world in restaurants bars, and even at…
This weekend I channeled my inner Martha Stewart and crafted a fun DIY decoration for Halloween – a Mummy Pumpkin. I first saw this floating around Pinterest, and as a lover of Halloween and anything involving pumpkin, I knew I had to make it! It’s a bit of a time hog, but not too hard to craft – a moderate DIY project. All you’ll need is some patience and… DIY…
