A Halloween Game Night

This year for Halloween we did game night, but I decided to get a little fancy with the food.

Ooh la la!

On the left we have cupcakes.  We decorated them using cupcake stencils and colored sanding sugar.  However, the sugar crystals were too big and a lot of the fine detail was lost.  I think we may have needed powdered sugar or something.  Anyway, some cupcakes turned out better than others, and some cupcakes turned out more hilarious than others.  The shapes were supposed to be a pumpkin, a witch, and a spider in a spider web.  We also had candy eyes.

Ta daa!  Note C'thulu in column 1, row 2, the most hilarious cupcake of all.

We also had cookies!  By the time we decorated them, we were done with the colored sanding sugar, which was getting everywhere, so they were decorated exclusively with different eye patterns.  

Also on the table were fresh chopped veggies, spinach artichoke bean dip, chips and crackers for bean dipping, and cheesy poofs, my name for the "natural" puffy Cheetos.  The beverages are not pictured but the mulled cider was a way bigger hit than I was expecting.  

Oh wait!  Here's a picture of the sad, less-popular, not-mulled-cider beverages.

And spooky games were played!  Gloom, Zombie Fluxx, and Smallworld.  Maybe another one.  That's what happens when you wait to long to write a post.

    1. Cannellini beans! Pretty much any white bean would work, though.
