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 haven’t made these cookies yet, and suddenly I’m wondering why!

Oh yea – salting cookies before baking takes cookies to a whole new level!
Stumbled across this recipe 6-7 (?) years ago & have NEVER looked back! I lost count of the times that I’ve made them l-o-n-g ago. Making them now, by request, for my best friend’s birthday.
I’m glad that the internet is forever, because no matter how many times I print the recipe out – it always manages to be elusive when I need it!
