Halloween Dessert Table

October 06, 2014 in halloween, Halloween

Halloween is always a great time of the year, this year our Halloween Dessert table had some wonderful Halloween ideas including Cauldron, Pumpkin and Eyeball cake pops, some wonderful Witch Hats and Bat cookies, pumpkin cup cakes and small jelly shots.

We decorated the table using a wonderful haunted house and some simple purple lanterns. The printables used for the Halloween Dessert table were created by Chic Party Ideas and will soon be available in our shop.

Enjoy

To decorate the table I started with black crushed velvet and used a wonderful haunted house that I found as Cosco. I added purple lanterns and some spooky old style picture whose faces changed from sweet to scary.

I created a lot of cake pops using Cauldrons, pumpkins and eyeballs. I places these in individual cauldrons for display, this looked really effective and I will soon post a tutorial on how to make the cauldron stands.

I used small skulls for jelly shots (child friendly) and placed a couple of sour snakes in each. Topped with a Jellified grave worm topper they added bursts of colour to the table.

Halloween cookies are a must for a Halloween Dessert table. I made simple Witch Hat and Bat Cookies, with a simple decoration that was easy to make.

You have to have Cup Cakes on a dessert table, I made simple vanilla cup dates and decorated with orange fondant icing and using a pumpkin template to chatter black sprinkles.

Our printable package includes mini bunting, great for straws

**Halloween mini bunting are great for decorating straws**

I served the Cake Pops in mini cauldrons and included halloween mini bunting around the cake pop stick

The must have halloween Jack O Lantern, this is always my husbands task at Halloween and I'm sure this is sponge bob.

My witch's and ghost stood guard of the dessert table and that concludes another halloween Party.

Halloween Indoor Graveyard

October 03, 2014 in halloween

As evening descends and you light the pumpkin you know Halloween eve has commenced.

This year we created an eerie Halloween Indoor Graveyard with skeletons raising from the grave to scare our trick and treaters. If you have a spare corner of the room this halloween, why not transform it into your own Halloween Indoor Graveyard.

Enjoy

**Halloween Indoor Graveyard with Bride and Groom Skeletons**

The bride and Groom were hanging props, I managed to sit them up by placing a 1.25 litre bottle under their clothes, the bottle was well hidden but it allowed the props to sit. The ground and back drop were created using a lot of black crushed velvet.

I included a number of dark red flowers (artificial) both at the entry to the graveyard and around the bride and groom.

While many of the tombstones had inbuilt lighting, I did place battery operated tea candles behind many of the tombstones to provide an eerie feeling.

**Halloween Indoor Graveyard with Bride and Groom**

A collection a small skulls were used to define the graveyard entrance.

Battery tea candles were placed at the bottom of the coffin to provide a low level of lighting.

The graveyard was filled with snakes, rats and mice and a couple of ravens looked on from high places.

I used shallow box's under the crushed velvet to define graves and simple gold chain to create a barrier to the graveyard.

A couple of extra large spiders stood guard just outside the fence and I placed skulls on tall planter poles to create some height.

Tips and Hints

Attach crushed vevlet to curtains using pegs.
Use battery tea candles to create eerie lighting
Place shallow box's under the crushed velvet to define the graves
Use 1.25 litre bottles (full) to make hanging props sit.
Embellish with spider web, spiders, rats, mice and Ravens
