Spooktacular Fun at our Haunted Home

Last night Jake and I threw our First Halloween Party. We had so much fun, I had more fun preparing than Jake did. But he is a good sport to help with dishes, clean, run errands for ingredients that I forget, and listen to me whine when I can't get the frosting just right! I could never do a party without him! Thank you honey!! Here are some pictures of our fun night!

Our "Trick or Treat, You're so sweet, Here's a treat for you to eat" favors.

The menu:

Pumpkin Soup Bowls with Taco Soup and Creamy Potato Soup

Spiderweb Cheesecake

Boston "Scream" Pie (Boston Cream Pie essentially except I put pumpkin in the cake and Nutmeg and Cinnamon in the filling)

Carmel Apples

Sugar Cookies

Candy Corn Cookies

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

White Chocolate Fountain

Homemade Rootbeer

It was so yummy! I think the question I get asked the *very* most at parties is..."Did you make all this?" Yes. Everything you see is homemade by yours truly down to every little cupcake sign on a toothpick. I love to cook. (Except the cute little Pumpkin Soup Bowls, they are from Macey's) These parties take *enormous* amounts of time, but they are so fun that I can't help it!

Now for the guests....
