Mummy Suckers

Every year my work throws a big Halloween pot luck and we have a dessert contest. I wasn't sure if I was going to participate this year, but decided the day before that I would. I was searching the Internet and came across Howdoesshe.com and they had these really cute Oreo Mummy Suckers and I knew that I was going to make them. And I did! They were really fun to make but took about 3 hours (most of that time was waiting for the chocolate to set). Friday was my work party and I woke up feeling really sick. So my amazing husband took my suckers to my work for me (he's a keeper). I was bummed when I heard that I didn't win, but I still had fun making them!

2nd Year In A Row!

My work has a Halloween Party every year and we have a dessert contest. I won last year so I decided I would enter again this year and see if I could win again. Our theme this year was Spiders. I made these Spider Web cookies and WON!!!! I have a 7 week old baby so I decided to make these cookies as easy as possible for me. They still turned out cute and were really fun to make!

Sugar Cookie Dough
1 can of white frosting
1 tube of black gel
Halloween Sprinkles
Halloween M&Ms

Make the sugar cookies. When they are cooled frost them with the white frosting. When the frosting sets, make circles with black gel. Drag a toothpick from the center to the edge to create the web. When the gel is almost set, put an M&M on the cookie and use sprinkles for the legs. I used a toothpick to help position the sprinkles close to the M&M. Let set and enjoy!

Day Late!

I realize that I should've posted this before Halloween! Maybe you could use these ideas for your Halloween party next year!

I got the idea for the cake from Kraftfoods.com. It is called The Great Pumpkin Cake. You bake any flavored cake you want in a fluted or bundt pan. When it's cool, frost it with orange frosting and using green frosting pipe the green lines on. The stem is an ice cream cone covered in green frosting. I took this cake to a Halloween party and everyone loved it and thought it was cute!


We had a potluck at work on Halloween and I made this Spiderweb Brownie Pull-Apart! I baked brownies in muffin cups, spread with chocolate frosting and piped orange frosting in a circle. Then I took a toothpick and drug it through the orange icing creating the web. The spider is a chocolate truffle with icing for the eyes and legs. I won the dessert contest at work!



I think he's cute!
