Halloween party invites

I had a bit of a hard time creating Maelie's Halloween party invitations. This is what I came up with:



She loved it! So now I just need to multiply it and print off the details on the inside.

It looks much better in person, especially with the glitter on the witches hat and the spider.

Halloween lover's best friend

Here is the TRUE treat of the season.... Wilton's chocolate melts in Midnight Black and Spooky Green.



They make the bats and spiders look scarier... the witches look nastier.... Halloween would never be the same without these colors! I was SO looking forward to finding them again. To top it off, they were on sale at Michael's this week!

The black is really black. You can see the difference between a dark chocolate melt and this one. Another good thing about it is that at Easter, it is also the perfect color to blend with white melts to make grey. I have a 3-D mouse mold that ended up PERFECT with the shade of grey I was able to make. I will definitely stock up this year.

Wedding favors

I've been working on some wedding favors for a friend. I had to make 100 of these little suckers! I love making personalized treats... the little tag adds an even more personal touch!



Here is the other side of the tag:

Rainbow cake!

I saw this idea online in a few places... so I wouldn't know who to credit as the original. So let's just say : this is not MY idea, it came from someone else.



However, i did MAKE this yesterday!! I LOVE how it turned out! I couldn't wait to cut it open and see the rainbow (colors are not in the right order, i KNOW). I just placed them in the order they came out of the oven. I was so amazed with it that I went around and gave slices to my friends! There are no pieces left today!

For the icing, I used the 7-minute icing recipe that Cindy sent me. It is a bit of a merangue type icing. Upon tasting, Maelie, who usually hates most icing, declared that this was the best icing ever! So thanks Cindy for sending it to us!

A little teacher's treat

I tried a new recipe yesterday with some of the apples we picked: apple brownies

They were incredibly delicious and moist! I ended up making 2 of them as loaves in tiny loaf pans I got at Michael's for 1.50 and brought them to school for Maelie's teacher and daycare provider.




They were still warm, hence the "fog" on the packaging!

Halloween Sneak Peek

Here are a few sneak peeks of my Halloween projects. I feel strange typing this on September 6th!! Halloween is simply a month and 25 days away. LOL This is probably the earliest I've started!!





I love covering the little Hershey's chocolates with Halloween paper. It gives them a whole other look!!

Another new baby!

A friend of ours recently had a baby and so I made another card with my Build a Roo stamp set. This time it is a little girl so I made the baby kangaroo pink. I love chocolate chip mixed with pink.

The picture actually doesn't do the card justice! The lighting was not the best and I wanted the card back in the envelope so this is all I got! :)
