Our Halloween Party Charcuterie Board
Barbara Wilcock 1 year ago
Nice to look at. But not easy to eat with the rolled up meat and fruit, honey. And very unedable strawberries
Derek Hales 1 year ago
This board has everything: spooky vibes, berries that’ll haunt your taste buds, and cheeses so good they’ll raise the dead! Seriously, if this doesn't scream ‘Halloween goals,’ I don’t know what does. Who's ready to feast with the undead?"

yeah, i think i might have a hard time getting past how real they look--but it depends on what they're made of
Bored Panda got in touch with Josephine Casey from Sweetjosiebakes, an expert baker, and she was kind enough to answer some questions. First, for all the amateur bakers out there, we wanted to hear what are the most common mistakes inexperienced bakers make?
“Not using a scale while baking and relying solely on cups for measurements which is common in the US. However, when it comes to baking, particularly for beginners, precise measurements are essential. For instance, using cups for flour may seem convenient, but it can lead to inconsistencies.”

Milk Chocolate Stuffed Jack-O-Lantern Cookies

I think I would like to try one and I like chocolate but there might be too much chocolate for me.

I find them disconcerting. At first I thought it was cute, but then the one on the right looks like it's puking and now I imagine eating a puking pumpkin. Disconcerting indeed.
Bin Miggy 1 year ago
I get what you're saying, but it IS a Halloween snack- I think it is supposed to be a little disconcerting.

So for those who might be inspired to get into baking before the end of the season, we asked Josephine to share some tips for beginners. “It's important not to feel discouraged after a failed baking attempt. Mistakes are common, especially when you're new to baking, as it's a precise science.”

All The Spooky Hand Pies I Made
Auntriarch 1 year ago (edited)
What defines a hand pie? I'm guessing it's a single portion pie, doesn't need cutting up. In any case, these are desperately cute
Kristal 1 year ago
Yes and the filling is fully enclosed (or enclosed enough) with pie dough so that you can pick it up and hold it without any filling falling out.

Remember, practice truly does lead to improvement, even though it might sound cliché. So keep at it, and you'll see progress over time,” she shared with Bored Panda.

While the idea is cute, I just can't get over the unnecessary single use plastic. Or maybe that's edible too, but I doubt it.

We also asked her to share her own baking fails. “Mistakes happen to everyone, regardless of experience. Just two weeks ago, I made a very silly mistake while building a large-scale cake intended to be tall and heavy. I forgot to add support to the cake, and it ended up crumbling down.”

Spooky Wedding Cookies To Surprise My Friends
My friends love spooky things, and they're getting married this weekend, so I made them miniature sugar cookies with a few unconventional wedding guests to celebrate.
I used a soft bristle brush to try to create movement in the little ghost's shrouds. The flowers, ties, and bouquets were done using a toothpick and a sugar scriber. And the color palette will match the bride and groom's florals.
I call these my little "button" cookies, though they're about the size of a half dollar.

Halloween Cupcakes That Will Make Your Guests Shiver

These glass cake designs make me shiver. My nephew, who has ADHD, bit a glass when we were on holiday and it broke in his mouth. Apparently it's not the first time. My heart nearly stopped! Someone needs to give him a ready supply of ice cubes to crunch instead!
CrazyKnitter 1 year ago
My uncle has a reputation for sitting on things he shouldn't. Examples include, a jellyfish, a cactus and something literally on fire.... I was there for the cactus. It was on a fireplace.... thing that I don't know the name of, the part in front of it that is like a large shelf/concrete break. The place he sat was the only place with anything on it, and there were three cactuses there of different types of spines.

I always take a creepy treat to work on Halloween. This year I found a candy mold shaped like a heart - not a cutesy heart, but a HUMAN heart, with veins and all. I'm making homemade peanut butter cup type treats with it - melting chocolate and filling them with a peanut butter filling. I'll place them in a red cooler with a sign on it that says, "Human Organ for Transplant", and see how well they go over!
