Having a Halloween Party or a Halloween-themed wedding? Well, the folks at Martha Stewart Living have dreamed up (actually, it may have been a nightmare!) some scary treats for your event. This is the perfect time to get creative with your food!

And, just because I can, I have included a photo of my dog in a Halloween costume.  Doesn’t he look thrilled?! Don’t worry, I took it off right after the photo was taken!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Why not let your guests scream for ice cream at your wedding reception? Marble Slab Creamery will bring this tasty treat to your party in the form of a sundae bar or even a portable “slab.” Your guests will love being able to create their own desserts and bring out their inner child.

Many brides have recently chosen to forgo the traditional wedding cake and serve cupcakes at the wedding instead. Some think that is easier than deciding on an entire wedding cake. It’s a great idea, but you still have to find a design you love. Enter, the Cupcakes Take the Cake blog. Their tagline is “All Cupcakes, All the Time…Everything you ever wanted to know about cupcakes from true fans.” Now this is definitely some research I could sink my teeth into! Check out the posts to get ideas for your own cupcakes.
