'Tis the season of pumpkins so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make one of my favorite desserts - pumpkin spice Brazilian Brigadeiro, aka pumpkin spice truffles! These little sweet bites not only look quite adorable, but they're also SO incredibly tasty, made with condensed milk and all the comforting flavors of Fall! YUM! If you like pumpkin pie or pumpkin spice anything, then you'll love these! In fact, these make a great alternative to your more traditional Fall or Halloween pumpkin desserts. Plus, they'll look just as yummy on a Thanksgiving desserts platter too, so be sure to pin it for later! 😉
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 🤷♀️
BOO! Hey friends, today I'll be sharing the DIY for these super fun and adorable No-Sew Halloween Trick or Treat Tote bags !

After all, you can never have too much candy on Halloween, am I right?
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 👻
My daughter has been obsessed with slime for a couple of years now. She's forever watching YouTube videos about making slime at home, buying slime whenever she sees it in the shops, and basically just driving me crazy talking about slime. Can you relate, mamas? 😋 I've always been anti-slime myself. I mean, anything sticky that may cling to your carpet, hair and floors and that involves "wasting" household ingredients like washing-up liquid or flour...didn't spark joy for me. Buuuut, I completely changed my mind once I made slime myself!
Don't know about you, but Halloween for me needs to be sweet and not so scary. That's how I really like to celebrate 'round here! So this year, I went all out on the cuteness factor using our Cute Candy Corn Halloween Printables to style this adorable party table full of easy DIY details and décor that you can easily pull off at home!
Fall temps call for comfort food, am I right? Hence this decadent Oreo cake! This chocolate Oreo layer cake is my daughter's all-time favorite cake and she requests it for every birthday, which I'm more than glad to oblige since it's oh-so delicious and super fun to make! If you like chocolate and Oreos (like us), than you really can't go wrong with this chocolate layer cake with Oreo buttercream and a chocolate ganache drip to finish things off! YUM!

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! 👻
Today I'm bringing you an oldie but goodie - Gnomes! But all dressed up for the occasion in Valentine's Day colors and bringing gifts within! And, these are no ordinary little gnomes.

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!
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!
If you need a last-minute recipe for your Halloween party, then this Candy Corn Jello recipe is for you! Jello is not only fun to make (and eat), but it also super inexpensive and mega quick to make.

So today I'm sharing with you my quick and easy way to make these fantastic balloon garlands!
If you happen to have seen my last cookie cake recipe , you know how much I love making (and eating...) them! Cookie cakes have become my go-to dessert "centerpiece" for any festive occasion. Mainly due to their easy-to-make nature and the amount of fun they bring to any party table! Don't get me wrong, I love cake. But cookie cakes combine the best of the cookie AND cake world in one simple recipe! Hence my current obsession.
My obsession with these cookie cakes started this summer when I made my very first cookie cake in the shape of a pineapple . Since then, I've been dreaming up other fun shapes to create, hence today's Jack-O'-Lantern inspired Halloween cookie cake! This cookie cake is SO easy to make and combines the best of both cookie and cake worlds - buttery shortbread cookies, sandwiched together with chocolate cream cheese frosting, topped with ridiculous amounts of candy. Well, it is Halloween after all! 🎃🍬👻
Did you see my Day of The Dead dinner party tablescape I shared last week?

This Halloween cake looks quite impressive, right?! But it's a cinch to decorate and even the kids can help! 😉 I used mainly sugar paste and cookie cutters to help me decorate it. So if I can, you can too!

With Mardi Gras 'round the corner, I thought it would be the perfect time to share this gorgeous glitzy and glam Masquerade Party with you!
