Nothing says Fall better than pumpkins. And pumpkin spice. And pumpkin spice lattes. So naturally, when it comes to my happy-hour this season, I reach for an indulgent cocktail that combines all these Fall flavors in a glass - My homemade Pumpkin Spice Irish Cream!
Today's post is a Halloween chocolate and orange cake, with a chocolate orange buttercream, a chocolate drip and sweet meringue ghosts to add extra spookiness to the ensemble! Talk about spook-tacular, right?! 👻 This cake combines some of the trendiest techniques out there for decorating layer cakes, like stripes and drips, and the chocolate orange flavor is a combo made in Halloween heaven. Or hell 🤷♀️

Last year for Halloween, I made a super delicious chocolate and orange layer cake with meringue ghost toppers . So this year, I wanted to bake something tasty, but a lot quicker and simpler too. Something which you could actually bake with the kiddos at home for Halloween. Therefore, I came up with these delicious Halloween chocolate cupcakes with condensed milk frosting (also known as the most delicious, silky smooth, quick and EASY homemade chocolate frosting EVER) topped with the cutest fondant ghost toppers! 👻
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!

“This post is sponsored in connection to the home release of Hotel Transylvania 3 ” Halloween is approaching and I'm so excited to share our Hotel Transylvania Halloween Movie Party with you! There's nothing my kids and I love better than a good movie night on Halloween - before or after trick or treating. And the monster themed, fun-filled HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 3 is the ideal movie for a Halloween party!
I love kitsch, whimsical and colorful Halloween party decorations, but last year I decided to try my hand at a more demure styling for Birds' Party Magazine - Black and White Halloween ! But since the bling-lover in me could not sit still, I added a pinch of sparkle here and there! ;)
Don't know about you, but after I spend all my time creatively constructing my kids (x2) / dog's / husband's Halloween outfits, I'm spent! So when it comes to my own Halloween costume, and despite being a handmade advocate; I always tend to gravitate toward the opposite end of the DIY spectrum with the super easy and quick outfits. Nothing that involves too much thinking and definitely NO glue guns or spray paint in sight. Read ' lazy outfits for busy moms '! ;)
There are tons of Halloween party ideas involving candy, and party ideas for kids over on Pinterest . Fact. We also love sharing loads of kid-friendly ideas here on the blog. Guilty as charged. So this year, I decided to style a little Creepy n' Chic Halloween cocktail bar to give you some ideas on DIY decorations and recipes for an adult-themed spooky soiree. Gruesome! 💀
I love all the themed Halloween treats around, but my priority these days is to make something delicious but that's also easy and that I can whip up with store-cupboard ingredients if possible 😉 Hence these adorable Halloween Jack O' Lantern hand pies! These yummy pies are not only super fun to look at, but they're also very tasty indeed, only require 2 ingredients, and you can whip up a batch in a jiffy!
Halloween for my family has always been about the fun costumes, snuggling up on the sofa while watching movies, and eating candy. So although Halloween may look a little different this year, we'll still just see it as an excuse to snuggle up on the sofa to watch fun movies...and eat lots of candy! 😁 Hence these adorably cute, decorative Halloween throw pillows to make our sofas a little more cozy and a lot more BOO-tiful 👻
Halloween is nearly upon us, so I thought I'd round up some quick and easy recipes and food ideas to help you get the party started even if it's last minute! However you celebrate Halloween, these tasty ideas are really easy to pull off and even the kids can help! These snacks and treats are also great for a movie-watching marathon with the family on the couch- my personal favorite way to celebrate 😁
This year, Halloween is a little more demure at ours. So, I opted for creating a few decorations that would reflect a "calmer" and more cozy vibe with neutral colors and a more paired-down style. To be honest, I much rather prefer this black and white, clean, modern monochrome vibe than anything too loud anyways! Not to mention that, (apart from the spider webs) this décor can be re-purposed for the November and Fall months too!
