Halloween Cupcakes
I made cupcakes for the Monday Night Football game a couple weeks ago. Since I made 2 batches, I froze 1/2 to save for Halloween. I took the cupcakes and frosting out of the freezer on the 29th and put them into the fridge. Then on the 30th I took them out and set them on the counter for about an hour before decorating them.
I had a lot of fun decorating them and I think they turned out great. One note about black frosting – it stains your mouth really bad!! With the mini cupcakes for MNF, I don’t think anyone noticed, but I ate one of the orange cupcakes and my tongue and teeth were black until I drank a glass of water. I told hubby to warn his coworkers before they took one!

I love the idea of a week of family favorites! Can’t wait to see them all. And you started off with a bang with this lovely pie. I love the tip about the flour too – I will definitely remember that one.
yum! i love pecan pie!
I just made a fabulous pecan pie and this one looks great as well! For my crust I actually had no trouble taking it out. I didn’t butter or flour it or anything extra. It was a no roll crust from Joy the Baker and tasted fabulous!
Oh my this pie look fabulous! I’m not a huge pecan pie fan but I know it’s my boyfriends favorite. He will love it 🙂
That pie looks scrumptious! We used to have one every year at Thanksgiving dinner, but somehow no one made one this year – it was so sad.
