Eat, drink, and enjoy the creepy yuckiness of Monster Eyeballs, Chocolate Spider Clusters, Buried Alive Cupcakes, and Screaming Red Punch. In her colorful collection of frightful foods, Sharon Parrish Bowers shares the fun of baking, decorating, and indulging in delicious treats that celebrate witches and jack o' lanterns, ghosts and graveyards.Everyone loves Halloween. It's a holiday that is pure fun and childish joy, an excuse to dress up and eat treats. Packaged candy may be the common reward for trick-or-treating, but plates of Spiderweb Cookies or big bowls of Sticks and Stones Caramel Corn are perfect contributions to school Halloween events, tailgating parties, neighborhood open houses, adult costume parties, and even afternoon play dates. It's difficult to imagine an autumn gathering that wouldn't be even more fun with ghoulish goodies to share.These frightful treats are not just for October, though. A birthday party for a nine-year-old or a scary movie sleepover for teenagers practically demands an I'Scream Cake or Spidery Cupcakes. And Chocolate-Chip Pumpkin Bars with Orange Glaze would be welcome at an office coffee break or an afternoon tea party. Baking from Ghoulish Goodies is a wonderful way to celebrate the change of seasons and the pleasure of working with kids in the kitchen. Baking cupcakes and making fudge are great activities for autumn afternoons, when the weather turns cool and the kids are underfoot after school. Put them to work stirring, decorating, and scraping pumpkin seeds. These are recipes that parents and kids can have fun making together. And the entire family will enjoy eating a warm Choco-Bat Cookie for dessert.Watchthe author create Funny Bones featured in the book. http://youtube.com/watch?v=_aGMe1VwBbA Children's Literature Monster eyeballs, bat wings, funny bones, and sugar cookie ghosts are just a few treats in this delightful cookbook to add a ghoulish thrill to Halloween parties. And as much fun comes from the hands-on helping to make these goodies as does eating them. The recipes are formulated for little hands to help, so children of all ages can join in on the fun. With helpful pointers from the author about how inexpensive it is to make all these treats, the reader will determine that they too can become a master chef of ghoulish pastries to wow their party guests. The author suggests the following: Use paste colorings for the deepest colors, regular flour and sugar, butter (always use salted butter for baking), cake mix (although the recipes call for homemade, a box of cake mix will do the trick), and chocolate (all the recipes are formulated for the easiest chocolate to find: chocolate chips). All the treats in this book are kid-friendly with no complicated sculpting. And you can bet everyone will want to fill their trick-or-treat bags with all these wonderful desserts.
