These Could Not Be Cuter
Our Halloween Party Charcuterie Board
My Colleagues Said My Zombie Fingers Were A Bit Too Lifelike, And I Take That As A Compliment
Bored Panda got in touch with Josephine Casey from Sweetjosiebakes, an expert baker, and she was kind enough to answer some questions. First, for all the amateur bakers out there, we wanted to hear what are the most common mistakes inexperienced bakers make?
“Not using a scale while baking and relying solely on cups for measurements which is common in the US. However, when it comes to baking, particularly for beginners, precise measurements are essential. For instance, using cups for flour may seem convenient, but it can lead to inconsistencies.”
Poisoned Apple Pie
It’s Just A Bunch Of Hocus Pocus
Milk Chocolate Stuffed Jack-O-Lantern Cookies
I think I would like to try one and I like chocolate but there might be too much chocolate for me.
“If you were to scoop flour four times using a 1-cup measurement and then weigh it, you'd likely find that each scoop weighs a different amount. These discrepancies can result in improperly baked goods,” she shared.

I Made Frankenpeppers
So for those who might be inspired to get into baking before the end of the season, we asked Josephine to share some tips for beginners. “It's important not to feel discouraged after a failed baking attempt. Mistakes are common, especially when you're new to baking, as it's a precise science.”
Deviled Eggs
"If I ate those, I'd have a lot of GI distress later... Six please!"
My Halloween Pie This Year
All The Spooky Hand Pies I Made
What defines a hand pie? I'm guessing it's a single portion pie, doesn't need cutting up. In any case, these are desperately cute
“Factors such as incorrect measurements, temperatures, or even the quality of the recipe can contribute to less than ideal results. Remember, practice truly does lead to improvement, even though it might sound cliché. So keep at it, and you'll see progress over time,” she shared with Bored Panda.

Halloween Treats
Rice krispies and red velvet cake mix! I made these last year. Looks surprisingly realistic.
We also asked her to share her own baking fails. “Mistakes happen to everyone, regardless of experience. Just two weeks ago, I made a very silly mistake while building a large-scale cake intended to be tall and heavy. I forgot to add support to the cake, and it ended up crumbling down.”
There Was An Accident In The Kitchen Today
Well, your macarons came out perfectly! Look at the foot (feet?) on those!
Halloween Rice Balls
Love these! I would never have the patience to make most of the things on this list, and many would be too sweet for me, but these rice balls are making my mouth water!
Gorgeously Spooky Bread Of The Dead, Made With A Delicious Homemade Squid Ink Flatbread Topped With Adorable Mushroom Skulls
“This kind of mishap is quite common when learning to bake, and even experienced bakers can encounter similar fails. Once again the important thing is to learn from the failure and continue on.” So if you want to see more of her work, check out her website or go and visit her Instagram account.

Halloween Hummus With Bat Crackers
Cool presentation but I've always had a thing about eating any food that is colored like this. The Japanese have an awesome saying about food: "You first eat with your eyes." Amen to that.

I Made A Cake For Halloween And Forgot To Share It, So I'm Sharing It With You Today
Monster Chicken Sandwich
Spooky Wedding Cookies To Surprise My Friends
My friends love spooky things, and they're getting married this weekend, so I made them miniature sugar cookies with a few unconventional wedding guests to celebrate.
I used a soft bristle brush to try to create movement in the little ghost's shrouds. The flowers, ties, and bouquets were done using a toothpick and a sugar scriber. And the color palette will match the bride and groom's florals.
I call these my little "button" cookies, though they're about the size of a half dollar.

Here We Have Kiwi Brains, Spooky Peppers, Pretzel Webs, Carrot Pumpkins And Toothy Cucumber Monsters
Nice to see some slightly healthier options out there! How do you get the pretzel sticks in the spider webs to stay together? The white chocolate alone wouldn't be strong enough to hold it together at room temperature, right?
Melting chips hold up quite well once set.

Insanely talented too. My icing skills are so, so pitiful.
Load More Replies...I always take a creepy treat to work on Halloween. This year I found a candy mold shaped like a heart - not a cutesy heart, but a HUMAN heart, with veins and all. I'm making homemade peanut butter cup type treats with it - melting chocolate and filling them with a peanut butter filling. I'll place them in a red cooler with a sign on it that says, "Human Organ for Transplant", and see how well they go over!
This is what Hallowe'en is about-- fabulously frightenly fun food.
I hope this link works, it's a recipe for rice krispies treats as brains! It's from a UK supermarket, Tesco, btw so you might have to Google grams into ounces etc! - - - https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/crispy-brains.html
