Halloween Witch's Fingers Bread Sticks Recipe

Halloween Witch's Fingers Bread Sticks Recipe

I have to say, these bread sticks look a little realistic... But I can also assure you they taste absolutely scrumptious, and totally helped to make the Halloween Chili Buffet a hit! So much so in fact, that when I asked my daughter "What would you like to do for Halloween this year? "  (meaning costume...), she replied without a moment's hesitation - "Witch Bread Fingers!"  :)

Halloween Chilling Chili Recipe

Halloween Chilling Chili Recipe

My husband makes the best chili I've ever tasted. So much so in fact, that I never order it in restaurants for the fear it won't be on par! :) So when styling my Halloween Chili Buffet , the natural choice was to cook his chili recipe, and today I'm sharing it with you. It's simple, unctuous and tastes awesome. And you can make it ahead of the party! ;)

A bubbling cauldron of hot chili accompanied by the usual sides provides the perfect Halloween food buffet for hungry little ghouls - It’s also a very relaxed, warming way to entertain and feed a crowd before Trick or Treat!  We love it so much in our house, that we've now made a tradition of having a chili buffet every Halloween! :) Here are some easy ideas on how to style a fun and spooky-licious  Halloween Chili Buffet that I designed and styled for the fall Edition of Yum Food and Fun for Kids Magazine!

Hi there, cake friends! While I (Tess) am usually here to share my experiences with cake decorating and tricks working with fondant and icing in the " Cake It Pretty " series, I am happy to be talking about another passion of mine today...

Black and White Halloween Party Ideas

Black and White Halloween Party Ideas

Have you ever been tempted to go monochrome for Halloween? I did last year , and totally loved it! Monochrome is sleek, is chic and is one of the Fall color trends for 2013. What's not to love?! I think this palette is really easy to pull together (think mummies, spiders, bats, crows...) and really helps to add an air of  grown-up sophistication to Halloween festivities. Check out some inspiring ideas I've been pinning:

Pink and Black Halloween Party Ideas

Pink and Black Halloween Party Ideas

I think the whole Monster High phenomenon really has had a big part to play in all the trending pink Halloween (or Pink-o-Ween) parties we see emerging everywhere. The fact Halloween also falls in the Pink October month, makes pink the ideal color for this spooky holiday! So if you fancy a little something girly, glam and totally  pinkalicious this Halloween, here are some of our fave ideas we've been pinning.

DIY Fall Leaf Fondant Cupcake Toppers

If you would have seen my (Tess) face yesterday as we drove out of the city and into the country for the afternoon, you would have thought the barrister slipped in a little something extra into my London Fog. On our way out the the pumpkin farm, the high-rises of our neighborhood were quickly replaced with row after row of golden-leafed trees. Maybe it's because I've lived in the city for a while now, but I had no idea I could ever be so excited about fall foliage. The beautiful colors of fall were captured in these Fall Leaf Mini Cakes .

Adorable Halloween Kids and Baby Costumes

Adorable Halloween Kids and Baby Costumes

When deciding on a Halloween costume, we always gravitate towards the fun aspect. But as a mom to two young kids, I'm also thinking, is it warm enough to go out trick or treating?!  Which means I was beyond excited to find the snugly and lush Halloween outfits from Pottery Barn Kids !  And guess what?! Parents needn't feel left out, 'cause they do matching grown-up (and even pets!) costumes too! ;)
