Terrible Treats Wednesday

I just came across this amazing terrible treat and had to share it with y'all before Halloween! Let's see if you have the guts to make this for your Halloween party. The photos are protected so there is no image to share but you Must, you MUST check out the MEAT HAND!!

I love the little spider web pumpkin pancake at the end too. So, so cute!!

Terrible Treats Tuesday- Evil Elixirs

No party is complete without some tasty beverages. Here are some of my favorite ideas. Enjoy.


This Shrunken Head Cider is amazing. I love apple cider and am so excited to be making this recipe for my party at work!!
Pumpkin Shake?!? Yes please!

Grape juice isn't the most appealing thing to drink, but spice it up a little and it will taste scrumptious!
Orange Hot Chocolate! Amazing!!
Click HERE for some Classic Midori recipes.
These Eyeballs are made out of radishes and olives. Genuis!

This is called the Dracula Drink. Not sure why, but I love candy corn. Wonder how it would taste with alcohol?

I'm a little hesitant about the whole weird stuff floating in your drinks, but these Creepy Bubble Drinks could be fun to make.

Here are a few punch bowl ideas. I love the fish bowl. I don't know about the trash can or whatever that container is at the bottom left. This website also has some other great punch recipes and wicked ideas. Check it out HERE.
Would someone please buy me this amazing punch bowl for my birthday? Pretty Please . . . .
And don't forget about the Black Vodka Martini we mentioned a few weeks ago.
Or the Butterbeer Brew. There is a non-alcoholic recipe for this beer as well. Just browse the website.

Another terrible cake

Somehow I missed this cake last week when I was highlighting ugly halloween cakes. Between the doilies, sprinkled candy corn, and weird custard(?!?) face, I am at a loss for words.

Terrible Treats Tuesday- Halloween Supper

Halloween is all about the sugar high but sometimes you need a few savory treats to help balance out all that sweet goodness. Here are a few supper like treats with a Halloween twist for your spread:

Martha has a simple trick to making a great Halloween spread, color. Simply choose a ghoulish tone of green, or a dark rustic purple/black, or go pumpkin! Either way, you can easily play around with your food options and get pretty creative too. This spread is mostly cheese, crackers, veggies, and dip.
This Spread has a darker theme with peppered cheese, figs, plums, and other dark fruits.
These treats aren't too ghoulish looking but they have a nice autumn twist. Black bean salsa, tea dyed crackled eggs, and croque monsieurs are a perfect hot sandwich to have on a breezy night.

These crackly eggs are a nice break from the common deviled egg appetizer. Plus they are super pretty. Similiar to the ones listed above. Recipe can be found Here.

Healthy, fun, and super easy. You can really play around with this idea and create other great Halloween motifs. For example, take chopped red peppers and create a nice goatee devil.Mummy Hot Dogs. Fun, cute, great for kids, and super yummy. Pumpkin Polentas Yummy.
How great are these chips?!! Go Here for some helpful hints on how to make these creepy creature chips.

These Bat Bites are actually little cheese ball appetizers. I have a feeling they are super scrumptious.

This is what I'd like to call the Moldy Cheese Log. Don't worry, it's not moldy. Super easy to make and it is sure to add the perfect grotesque twist to your spread.


This Pumpkin Chowder is a little more traditional but a great autumn snack. I recommend using an actual pumpkin for your bowl.
Wow, doesn't this pumpkin curry look great? It also would make a great filling for the veggie stuffed intestine below.
Yes, these stuffed intestines look kinda gross, but check out the Recipe cuz it sounds super delicious.
Spider Pizza. Perfect for all ages and also easy and cheap to make. I recommend using pesto sauce instead to give it a more ghoulish look.

Harry Potter Treats

Ever wanted to throw a Harry Potter Halloween party? Not sure what to serve? No worries! Just peruse Britta Peterson's amazing Hogwarts menu.

Her Pumpkin Pasties look delicious!

I am definitely trying the Butter Beer recipe.
She has two versions.

Alcoholic Butter Beer made with Butterscotch Schnapps
And Non-Alcoholic.
Britta also has a number of other great Halloween recipe ideas,
like this Spider Brie En Croute.
She also adapts this amazing Penn & Teller Bleeding Heart recipe. Impressed yet?

Terrible Treats: The Witch's House

When most people think about a gingerbread house, images of Christmas and cheery snowmen seem to come to mind. Not for me. I tend to think of dark woods, witches and children being baked into terrible treats in a giant oven per the classic fairytale Hansel and Gretel. Here are some of my favorite takes on the witch's gingerbread house.

This is a cute, easy to make version.


Of course Martha Stewart has an amazing version that is elegant but perhaps harder to build.


And now for my personal favorite. This little gingerbread house has all the qualities of the season. It's a little scary, a little sweet, easy to construct (note the use of Golden Grams cereal as shingles)and looks totally cute and delicious! Go HERE for more about this wonderful house and the wonderful woman who made it!

Terrible Treats Tuesday

Last week Alison posted about the Poltergeist cake that the famous Ace of Cakes made. It got me thinking about what other Halloween cakes were out there. To say the least, I came across some good ones, and some pretty bad ones

Here's the Good:

I like cute Halloween cakes and I think these guys are adorable.


Martha does it again. I can't imagine how long this takes to make.

A woman made this cake for her son.
It was her first time using fondant. I think she did a great job.

Love the red filling!!

This is a B-day cake, but I like macabre color combo. So bleak.

Funny, cute, and enough cake for everyone.

I love all the fine details in this cake.
The fence, cobblestone, and the moon.
This one is my favorite. So amazing!

Now for the BAD:

I had a hard time deciding whether this cake was good or bad,
cuz it is so fucking awesome!!

This is what happens when TwiHards(teenage Twilight fans)
try to make cakes.

Yes, this is a cake. Yes, it is gross.

Looks like someone got carried away with cake accessories. Fail.

If I tried to make a Skull Cake, it would turn out like this.
I'm sure this was delicious, but seriously,
the rice krispy treats look like barf.

Impressive, but tacky. I also find myself asking, Why?
No Comment.
