Happy Halloween, friends! Does everyone have their candy and costumes ready? I guess I should start by saying no candy corn were harmed in the making of this cake! This is simply a candy corn inspired layer cake that I just had to share with you! When I started working on this cake yesterday, my goal was to create a pretty Halloween cake for a party. You guys know I'm all about the buttercream, so I thought the candy corn effect could look really cool. I love projects like this because you never really know exactly how it's going to ...

Good morning, friends! Anyone else as happy to see Friday as I am? There's lots of Halloween parties happening this weekend and you can't have a Halloween party without some spooky sweets.

From cute to spooky to boozy, there is truly something for everyone. The ...
Spooky Spider Cupcakes
Happy Wednesday all! I'm so excited to share these little spiders with you today. They're cute, spooky, okay maybe not so spooky, and sure to add a little sparkle to any Halloween party!

So I just kind of let the idea stew till one day ...
Pumpkin Kiss Brownies
Good morning! This is one of those recipes that I have been dying to share with you. Remember when I posted the Pumpkin Kiss Cookies? Well, while I was writing that post, I got this idea to make a ganache with those kisses. Then I thought those kisses would pair beautifully with chocolate. Once I thought chocolate, my brain immediately went to brownies. Rich, indulgent truffle brownies to be exact! It really surprises me that I ever got the pumpkin kiss cookie post written that day. Before I was done writing it, I already had the ...
Ghost Cupcakes
These little ghost cupcakes are perfect for a Halloween party. Once again they're definitely more cute than spooky, but I wouldn't have it any other way! I'm really happy with how they turned out, and I just love the sparkly bows! These are a bit time consuming, but once you get the knack of it, they're pretty easy. I made 12 regular size cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes. While they were cooling I colored some fondant orange and black, and rolled it out. Using a 3" ring mold I cut out 12 circles. I put a very thin layer of buttercream on ...
