Halloween 2011

Hope everyone had a great Halloween/weekend, I sure did even though I didn’t go to any Halloween parties this year like my best friend and I do every year but she wasn’t feeling to great and I heard about another one half way though the night, I just stayed in for the night. Which gave me a chance to do some finishing touches to this new layout.

Some of the highlights of the night were:
- Everyone who walked along my street all stopped and looked at my yard display (yay)
- A tot who came to the door with his older sister (who was maybe 5yo), the tot could only say “tricker or tricker” and the sister was no it’s “trick or treat”. It was cute!

Biting into the rainbow

Last night, I was hosting a Autumn Fest dinner which also included a four and a seven year old and I wanted the dessert to be more for them compared to the normal autumn related pie flavors (apple and or pumpkin) with ice cream.

After I saw the first mention about rainbow cupcakes (and or cakes) back in 2009, I knew I had to make it once the kidlet was old enough to really enjoy the dessert. And it wasn’t until I was going though my blinder of recipes the other day, I remembered about this dessert and just had to do it.

Since I first say that recipe, there have been many different versions of how to make it. How I made mine, was I used my favourite white cake mixed (box) and divided the batter into five bowls to add the different food colouring. For the icing, I did the seven minute icing.. It’s the only kind of icing that I do.. grew up with it and it works ..

This dessert was a hoot, not just with the girls but with everyone who attended this dinner.
