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!

Made this pie over the weekend. My pie pan was 9.5 and the filling looked a tad skimpy. I added cut out leaves on the crust border. It tasted as amazing as it looked. My family now has adopted this pie and renamed it to: Thanksgiving Pie. They joked about putting the pie between two pieces of turkey and adding a dollop of mashed potatoes and have a totally fantastic Thanksgiving meal. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I follow your blog and look forward to trying more things. I shared a picture of my pie on facebook.
