I still don't know what on earth possessed me to make 13 items for this Halloween party. Did I mention that I grossly overcater for these types of events? It seemed like a good idea at the time and I just kept adding things as I discovered them or thought of them. This over eagerness to feed does have its downsides and I found myself on the evening before the night of the party exhausted. Mr NQN had gone out for work drinks and didn't come home until 10pm where he found me an incoherent mess. All I could wail was "I want my television" (i.e. the laptop) while lying prone on the bed kicking my feet in the air like an upended hedgehog.
The next morning I awoke refreshed and glanced at my schedule. You can never keep a good ghoul down and inside me is also a strange mutation of Bree Van Der Kamp and Martha Stewart crossed with Morticia Addams. That day I had to pick up some cupcakes from Sparkle Cupcakery who were giving me some Halloween themed cupcakes for my party in a pumpkin spice flavour. My father had made the little menu cards (so please excuse some of the typos). I was visiting the Party People who were generously loaning me a whole bunch of gorgeously gruesome props and we also had to pick up some last minute items and Mr NQN's costume. He of course wanted to go as Dexter Morgan.
"Can I go as Dexter?" he asked.
"In the white outfit with the blood spatter?" I asked him.
"What do you mean then?
"I'll wear a polo shirt and shorts"
As for me? I went as Little Red Riding Hood. I'm not quite sure why except that I've always wanted a red cape. I was going to wear fangs as I was supposed to be the mutant offspring of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf but the fangs that I bought made me look like I had a severe overbite. Mr NQN was going to come as the wolf except that all of the wolf masks that he tried on were itchy.
I handed out Vampire Cookie Pops to all of my guests-recipe to come!
Medusa's head. Sing along with me "Isn't she lovely. "
I know, I know, Hallowe'en in on the 31st of October but this year, my friend The Second Wife and her fiancee Gravy Beard are getting married that weekend so we decided to have Hallowe'en a bit earlier this year. This meant that you could also use the recipes if you were so ghoulishly inclined. And many of the thirteen recipes here are very easy to do. Of course I don't include the sanity straining gingerbread house above in that list ;)
Floating Teeth Juice
"Worms in dirt anyone?" I ask as I hand out some delicious proteiny goodness
There was food a plenty and all of my nearest and dearest were invited along. Everyone came dressed in costume-I am a costume nazi and if you don't come in costume, you are banished to the gallows to live in eternity. We spent the evening eating, drinking, talking and playing games including the very fun horror movie version of charades. That's right, if you come to my Halloween party, you will be subjected to games!
Broken glass shards and blood
All of the food worked a treat except for one item. These were supposed to be Dexter Blood Slides but they didn't work so they became broken glass shards with blood which Queen Viv loved as they reminded her of toffees at school fetes (except for the blood I presume ;) ).
Sparkle Cupcakery Pumpkin and Spice cupcakes $4.50 each
The Sparkle Cupcakes were an undeniable hit. Lou passed them around and they got an unanimous thumbs up from everyone that tried them. There was actual pumpkin in the cake itself which made it very soft and moist and we may have had a riot on our hands with this half dozen eagerly contested cupcakes!
Anyway, without further ado, here are the recipes, should you wish to indulge your inner vampire! Settle in with a cup of tea or coffee though as this story is the most picture filled NQN story ever! And if you want to see my ghoulishly fabulous guests, scroll down!
So tell me Dear Reader, what would you get dressed up as for Halloween?
