Its hard to plan anything while you're planning a wedding. My husband's birthday (on 10/23) though a fun day, was not half of the previous birthdays I'd planned for him and we really weren't able to put any thought into Halloween this year. There are 3 sets of young kids in our apartment building and they, and their parents, enjoy trick or treating around the halls instead of house to house (they know the occupants and can trust the candy). This year, while I could have just gotten them candy, they will show up and dreary old Mr. and Mrs. J.O. aren't going to have on costumes and I didn't want to disappoint so I baked cupcakes and decorated them with ghoulish and gross things to make the little people happy.
I made the tombstones out of miniature Crackle and Hershey bars, the spiders out of black licorice ropes and jelly beans, the frogs are just candy frogs and the worms are just candy worms. I made the green icing and dipped it in green sprinkles. The green frosting and sprinkles reminded me so much of golfing that I had to make one golf cupcake:
The only problem I encountered was eating way to much frosting and candy and having way too much fun. (Oh I made the flag out of a hershey's wrapper).
