Halloween Machete Cupcakes

October 20, 2015 by Erin

Nothing says Happy Halloween quite like a Bloody Machete Cupcake, right?

It was my friend’s birthday last weekend and I wanted to bring a dessert to work to celebrate. She loves Halloween. And by loves, I mean LOVES! It’s her favorite Holiday. So…. Halloween Birthday cupcakes it is.

Have you seen these candy machetes in the store yet? I thought they were pretty cool looking. Add them with blood red gel frosting and it screamed “buy me”.

I thought they turned out pretty well. Everyone at work loved them (and ate them in lightning speed.)

What do you think? Halloween?

We seem to be on the same wavelength in a lot of ways. I bought these candy knives and made bloody cupcakes with them last Halloween, too 😀

Magic Banana Trick

Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]

Play Doh Cookies

We made cookies like this years ago and I remember my kids loved it. It’s like playing with play doh but the end result isn’t cleaning everything up and putting it away. The end result here is eating them! What kid (or adult) wouldn’t be pleased with that outcome? The kids had so much fun […]

Racing to the Dinner Table

In keeping with our fun food theme we made these cute sloppy Joe cars. What do you think? (You didn’t miss our other fun food posts, did you? Octodogs and Shells, Aliens for dinner and our Squiddlers.) These were simple to make and will be a big hit with the kids. You will need: * […]

Turkey Treats for Thanksgiving

Normally by now I’ve posted a few Thanksgiving fun food recipes. Apparently I’m a little slow this year. I can’t believe this is our first (and only one!) But it is a fun one. How cute are these little guys? I thought my kids would have a great time making these. I bought all the […]

Part 2 of the Turkey Cookies

We had so much fun making our Turkey Cookies with Nutter Butters that we wanted to make another Thanksgiving cookie. I think this one turned out much cuter than the other Turkey Cookies! I mean seriously, look at these little guys. too cute! I used the candy eyes which are my new favorite thing to […]

Corn Dog Cookies

Happy 4th of July everyone! What are you doing tonight? I’m going to hope I don’t fry my eyebrows while I watch the amazed looks on my kids face as the fireworks go off. They love fireworks. Well, not the loud ones. =o) When I saw these adorable Corn Dog Cookies over on Sue’s blog, […]

Making Dinner Time Fun

I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles and […]

Turkey Cookies

Yep, another Thanksgiving-ish recipe. I told you we were going to rock the Holidays! (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.) And after our delicious Pumpkin Spice Fudge, we needed a kid friendly crafty kind of dessert to make. Can you get any more kid friendly or crafty with these Turkey […]
