Happy Hallowe'en from Lizzie Borden! My favourite time of the year. What other time of the year can you gorge on candy, regard scary things, and... Well, I guess that this isn't the only holiday. Not if you're Victorian. Nonetheless... Hallowe'en is a magical time of the year.
Here is our food table decorated up.
And here is a detail of my Hallowe'en cupcakes.
Aren't they ooky spooky? And a little gory... I got the ideas for both off of Pinterest. The bug one is white cake, hollowed out a tiny bit, and then the hollowed out part was filled with icing and cookie crumbs (to look like dirt), and decorated with (inedible) bugs. The bloody ones are the same white cake, decorated with a butter cream icing (one of the better batches that I've made in a while!), and drizzled with edible fake blood (corn syrup, honey, cocoa, and food colouring). Delicious! But...gross.
Have a happy Hallowe'en, and a happy All Hallows' Day tomorrow!
