A mixture of spooky and sweet

What is trending? #SugarSkulls. This year I gave our theme a bit of  a festive feminine edge for our Halloween ‘Spook-caular’ event with Candy Corn colors and Sugar Skulls.   After all I cannot really spook the kids at 4 & 5  years old with real creepy goblins and goolish treats.  I would say this was a perfect compromise with lots of fun traditions from the previous years.

Some of our activities included, decorating pumpkins , doughnut string game, Halloween egg hunt with festive prizes for the occasion inside, bobbing for apples, halloween Tattoos, and a special appearance from Raggedy Ann from Clowing around town which was super symbolic to me this year 😉

and of course we cannot forget about the snacks and treats! Lots of laughs and was enjoyed by all!

All cupcakes were made by myself and were gluten free and organic.

The cookie witch hats was an idea I saw on pintrest, however they were all milk and or dark chocolate that I saw, and I thought why not make it white chocolate to match the stripes on the cookies. The red velvet cookie was my daughter’s idea instead of the typical coco color on the fudge stripes. It definitely was an experiment.

Our little goolish guests were given orange, silver and black bat beaded necklaces that were put on each plate and besides the sweet treats and crafts they also took home a fun pumpkin tissue surprise. That you can learn how to make yourself with this tutorial. I had to try it out the moment I ran across it because it was super adorbs from One little project at a time.

I was very busy entertaining all of our friends so please forgive me for not capturing every detail. Some of the Mommy’s were kind enough to share some shots they got from the day. Here is one of the kiddie table.
