One of my favorite days of the year is here.. Halloween!
I mean who doesn't love an excuse to dress as someone else and eat your weight in candy?! Not to mention the scary movie marathons! Halloween is definitely one of my favorite Holidays outside of Christmas and my Birthday 😜
The last several days have been jammed packed (which is why I wasn't able to post last Thursday). Between the boutique, the kids and being locked away in my kitchen it's been madness here.
I spent a good 24 hours baking up a storm in my kitchen. I had a friend who was organizing/attending a zombie themed party, who asked me to make some gruesome cupcakes. Of course I couldn't say no! I made them some "bloody brains & eyeball" cupcakes.
These "bloody brains" are red velvet with a cream cheese frosting. Then they were drizzled in a bloody cornstarch mix. I also made 2 dozen grey goose jello shots using syringes so the guest could either insert them into their cupcakes or take the shot on its own.
Now these "Bloody Eyeball" cupcakes were probably my favorite! They look all pretty with the rose piping but then the gruesomeness is added with the blood and eyeballs. They're a vanilla cake with a strawberry puree filling topped with a vanilla buttercream. Again I used my bloody cornstarch to drizzle over a gumball eye.
The day before I started baking these I had the honor of baking an "I Beat Cancer" cake. Another friend's mother in law just kicked breast cancers butt and they wanted to celebrate. I was more than willing to squeeze this into my schedule!
Of course since its Halloween, I have to share my new favorite black shirt. I just recently got this in my boutique and I'm tempted to order more in other colors. It's buttery soft, loose fitting and the criss cross neckline is right on trend. I may have worn it a few times now! But it looks great tucked in, on its own or layered up.
I was totally having a mom moment here. My daughter was throwing a fit off camera so of course my husband had to catch me in action!
