Great Halloween food ideas using pumpkins
Here are some suggestions for your favourite Halloween food ideas. A good way to start Halloween 2011 is to scrape up all the goodness from the big pumpkin you have and mix it all down into a soup.
Apples are good for spooky activities like apple dunking – a fun game for the kids to try at home. Use carrots to make a scary pumpkin, wicked witch or crazy carrot cake. Gingerbread is good for making gingerbread men, bats and ghosts (with white icing on top).
Halloween Cupcake Idea
Why not spread white icing on top of a cupcake in the shape of a web and add some orange and purple sprinkles for a spooky effect?
