Halloween.

Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf

 I had a fabulous weekend. Nick was coming over ( always a good way to start off the weekend) and we needed something to do. Since Halloween was right around the corner, we figured it was necessary that we make Halloween cupcakes. We picked up some red velvet cupcake mix, orange and black frosting, and paper pumpkins and headed home.



Our cupcakes!

We decided to bake on the same night of game 7 of the World Series. It was terrible planning on our part cause we were extremely distracted from baking. The night started off incredibly cause well, we won. We're champions.

We finally finished up the cupcakes and began to decorate them using black and orange frosting. The frosting was not cooperating and it was taking much to long to decorate. We decided one dab of frosting would be enough for each cupcake. We topped them off with paper pumpkins and set them in decorative paper. We were too full from our Halloween pasta to eat any of our cupcakes.

Saturday night we got a call from Matt, Nick's brother, and his girlfriend, Renee. They wanted to hit up the mall to walk around in our costumes. We voted for our favorite decorated pumpkins, shopped in a crafting store, took pictures, and called it a night. Nick came over after and we watched Chopped ( favorite food show ) with Emily and David. It was a perfect way to end the night.

Halloween day came and we had no plans. We still needed to carve pumpkins so we decided to do so. We only had ten minutes to carve a pumpkin before all the trick-or-treaters came to our house. We wanted them to see our work so we rushed. Needless to say, our pumpkin had triangle eyes and a circle mouth. So creative. I know. We roasted our pumpkin seeds and were waiting them to finish. We started talking and kinda forgot about the seeds. We burnt them.  After handing out chocolate to skaters, pooh bear, and a little girl riding a purple horse, Nick left for guitar lessons and I decided to watch Castle with my wonderful family.

 Halloween was good this year, even though I didn't get lots of free candy.
