baking halloween

My friend Jessica had the brilliant idea to bake Halloween cupcakes. So we got out the mixer, the ingredients, the decorations, and after deciding on the type of cupcake, we were set to bake! What did we bake, you ask? Red.. scratch that.. GREEN velvet cupcakes!

However.. we didn't quite get the shade of green we were aiming for. I mean, it was a nice, vibrant green while mixing.. that is, before we added the cocoa powder/flour.

Lo and behold.. Halloween cupcakes gone wrong.........

hmmm... no comment.

but once baked, a mossy green? reminded me of frankenstein's monster for some odd reason.

time to frost & decorate!

and voila! the finished product!

Now that Halloween is officially over, farewell October. Welcome November!

And, hello pumpkin inspired desserts!
