Personalized Halloween Cupcakes

You know when you first start blogging….

and you don’t know how to operate your camera?

So you upload unedited, straight out of the camera photos.

And they’re enormous. And not so great.

And because you know nothing about SEO, you don’t even bother with that either.

You just upload them and shout “look at my cupcakes!!”

And no one really does.

Because you didn’t even bother tagging them within the post.

Yeah, I don’t know anything about that either.

ThisΒ post?Β I don’t where that came from! (giggle)

Yesterday, while going through old photos for Throwback Thursday on Instagram, I came across these gigantic, unedited, poor lighting cupcakes.

So I decided to repost them because I felt like they needed an extra day in the limelight and therefore I’m bringing you….

Personalized Halloween Cupcakes.

Personalized Halloween Cupcakes

You start by tinting your favorite buttercream a ghoulish green.

Personalized Halloween Cupcakes

Then use a variety of candies to assemble your creepy creature’s facial features.

Marshmallows, fruit roll ups, twizzlers, gumdrops, etc.

Personalized Halloween Cupcakes

Then use toothpicks as your base and have fun creating.

Personalized Halloween Cupcakes

Then name each of your husband’s assistants with their own name tags.

It’s an office conversation for sure.

Personalized Halloween Cupcakes

Happy Decorating!

Slooooowly getting into the groove of 2021. Since Slooooowly getting into the groove of 2021. Since it's been so long since I've been able to enjoy a good ole’ Olive Garden soup, salad & breadsticks combo, I took matters into my own hands and recreated the experience at home complete with Pasta e Fagioli. πŸ₯£ Side note: Did y'all know they sell their OG salad dressing at the grocery?! 😳 Since I'm also attempting to do better with meal prepping and make ahead meals this new year, I'm freezing half for the next time I have a craving I can't control...or the temps in Louisiana drop without warning. WINNING. πŸ™ŒπŸ₯£

#ad With its perfect shade of red, this fruity and #ad With its perfect shade of red, this fruity and festive, family-friendly Pomegranate Punch is sparkling and glistening....you won't even realize there's alcohol missing! Strolling through @Sprouts, I saw that the plump pomegranates were on sale and I had no choice but to add them to my buggy. They're delicious in recipes, but they serve double duty as serving tray adornment! πŸ™Œ 
Here's what you need to grab:
1 medium-sized pomegranate 
1/4 cup pomegranate juice (extracted from the pomegranate)
4 cups multi fruit cranberry juice (I used Langer’s Cranberry Plus also found at Sprouts) 
1 1/2 cups lemonade 
6 cups ginger ale 
garnishes: pomegranate arils, lemon slices, lime slices
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Prepare the pomegranate juice by first rolling the pomegranate to loosen the seeds. 
Cut the pomegranate in half, and hold each half over a bowl, seeds facing down and push inward on the skin forcing the seeds into the bowl. Reserve several arils for garnish; rinse and set aside. 
Add 1 cup of the removed pomegranate seeds to the blender. Pulse a couple of times, just enough to juice. 
Pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer and use the back of the spoon to gently press the seeds so that all of the juice is extracted. Set aside 1/4 cup. 
Add the 1/4 cup of pomegranate juice, 4 cups of fruit juice, 1 1/2 cups lemonade and 6 cups of ginger ale to a large pitcher. Stir to combine. 
Top with slices of lemons, limes and the reserved pomegranate seeds. 
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
That's it. Load your serving tray up with extra fruit and then stand back and watch everyone rave and feel a little fancy- even the kiddos. ❀️
