Halloween Dessert Party

I apologize for the lateness of this post, but I was waiting to hear back from several of my favorite party sites to post my party and one rule is that I'm not allowed to post my photos before submission to their web sites.

For my boys Halloween Party, we had 33 kids with ages that ranged for 4 to 8 at my house the day before Halloween. My clients were very specific for their party. CANDY and TREATS and to have LOTS OF FUN! With those three guidelines I immediately began looking for candy, new dessert recipes and fabrics and other decor for the party.

The first thing I found was a great digital kit on Etsy by paperglitter. From there I found the amazing backdrop fabric (the photo is hard to see the intricate spiderwebs design) and a sheer orange fabric both from JoAnn Fabrics.

To accomplish the very popular popcorn hands, I have to credit Barb from A Tailored Affair for the two large Manzanita Branches and pots. To create, I simply popped A LOT of popcorn and using food handler gloves stuffed them along with adding candy corns as fingernails.

For the actual treats on the table, I had a candy buffet complete with orange slices, gummy worms, gummy pumpkins, mixed candy, chocolate eye balls, candy corn and sixlets. I also made two flavors of cake pops and cupcakes. I used my new Pastry Pedestals to display the cupcakes in a new and fun way. I also made coffin brownies, whoopie pies, Halloween shaped candies, candy dipped Rice Krispie Treats.

My favorite new treat was make Cauldron Cups. For these yummy treat, I made the edible chocolate bowls and filled it with chocolate pudding topping it off with crushed up Oreos and then adding a skull and bone as decoration. I found the beautiful glass pedestals at the Craft Warehouse.
