Welcome to our Halloween Dinner Party!
This is my front porch. Yesterday, I spent two hours at the grocery store shopping for stuff for our annual family Halloween Dinner Party!
Our Witchy Cake! I made the cake. When I turned it onto the plate it broke in 10 pieces. Nice.
I patted it back together with water and proceeded to hold it togetherwith two pounds of frosting. =)
I put it in the freezer for an hour. Then I frosted the witch face on top of it. Juliette cut licorice strips for hair. Bridgy stuck her teeth on. Sully did her lips and eyes.Juliette did her nose and eyebrows.We love our cake wreck!
Juliette decorating Witchy. If you look close, you can see the picture in the bookof the witch cake we were trying to copy.
Sully looking surprised at the monster hand in the punch. He said,“Is that a real monster hand or is it fake?”
I filled two kitchen gloves with water and food coloring. I tied them with rubber bands and froze them.
The kids loved them, and I had fun chasing Bridgy around the house with one of the gloves.
One of the fingers fell off. We tried scaring Bridgy with it. =) She said, “That’s a PINGER!”
I love Wrapples! Bridgy kept asking for more worms!
Sully licked his apple clean of caramel. It was his first Halloween dinner party. Yea!
These little sandwiches are so much fun to make. They’re made by rolling out pie dough (available in cartons in the frozen foods section) and cutting the dough into the shape of pumpkins with a cookie cutter. These are little pizzas! You stuff them with Ragu, sausage and mozzarella cheese.
Juliette painted them with a mixture of food coloring, water and egg yolks. Then we baked them.
The little ones love hot dogs, so we made these mummies. You wrap crescent rolls around hot dogs and bake them. We eat these all the time now!
This cheese ball was Robert’s favorite. It’s made from shredded cheddar, cream cheese, canned pumpkin, nutmeg and pineapple preserves. I used a pretzel stick for a stem and red and yellow bell peppers and olives for the face.
What ideas do you have for a Halloween dinner party?
wish I was there !! le xoxox
@ANDI – Who said I didn’t cry? LOL!!!
YOGI – Thank you! I try!
BECK – I’ll send you an invite to the 2nd annual! This was way more fun than the drama of Thanksgiving. I didn’t know mom was coming until she showed up. This was my way of balancing the fact that Juliette is 12 – officially her last year to trick-or-treat and she is not with me this weekend. Trust me. The dinner cushioned the blow. I didn’t even cry when Bridgy snarled at her caramel apple and said, “I DON’T LIKE THAT APPLE. I WANT ANOTHER WORM!” Next year!! I promise!
I wanna get invited. 🙁 I’m family! Poo! 🙁 I’d have asked you over if it had been me!

You are so creative the family fun loving.
I love, love, love the glove idea – that is ingenious! Good call on the cake, I would have sat down and cried!
