Halloween Party!!!

Well the Halloween Party was a SUCCESS!!! (and I managed to survive it... although I am really sore today)... Here are the pictures of the cakes we did (all in one day):

Brains (because you can never have enough brains):

Eyeballs (the final ones had a rope of fondant, with candy corn around them):

Haunted Castle:


Mega-sized Candy Corn (Uses Checkerboard pan so the color goes all the way through the cake):
Haunted Rice Crispie Treats (Note: All you have to do is put candy melts in bottom of molds, then add the Rice Krispie Treats):

Fondant Jack-o-Lanterns (the color got a little washed out on the final picture, they were light orange with white "peep" ghosts):

Halloween Update...

All the games are coming along nicely... and the van is fully loaded. Now I just need to get it all delivered, setup and start on the "Cakes" for the Cake Walk...

My nemesis...

Well, I have finally caught him... he (and his kind) have eluded me for so long... and taunted me late at night, skittering in the wall behind the shower... but I have proven to be the victor. After a adventurous scuffle where we turned the playroom inside-out, we finally emerged victorious... I AM smarter than the average mouse? Unfornately, I think Erik is having flashbacks to his Kindergarten mice, so what to do? what to do?
