I worked my ass off the whole day today but I'm not complaining. Everything was worth it in the end. I can't remember the last time we threw a party like this... Christmas, perhaps? Most likely.
Anyways, I was unsatisfied with how the angel food cake turned out, so with Reuby's permission, I baked another cake - yellow butter cake. That's like classic. And failproof. LOL. Yes, I'm anal like that. Everything has to be perfect. :P
Reuby's first task of the day was to carve the pumpkin. And he did an amazing job of it!
D'awww...
The devil's food cake was lovely. OMG. So sinful.
The witches' brooms were delightfully cute. LOL. I loved them. <3 And making them was fun too!
The pretzel sticks were a little too long, so guess who had the 'horrible' chore of eating the little bits I broke off?
You guessed it!
Marzipan! LOL.
The devilled eggs were a breeze... We've done this so many times before, it's all second nature. With just the right amount of mayonnaise, salt, pepper and mustard. Mmm... Delish!
My only regret? Not buying those golden-yolked eggs. But they tasted good enough! :P
Reuby helped to cut all the stuff needed for the sausage spikes, and I just assembled them. ^.^
Assembling the cakes, though, was the difficult (and scary) part. That, and frosting them.
Yes, the orange and yellow sprinkles are made that way on purpose... I was hoping for the 'dancing flames' effect for 'Hell'.
The completed version of Heaven & Hell. Frankly, I had a different idea for 'Heaven' but I suppose this had to do. The blue thingies are little sugar doves I got from the market. And yes, I lined them all up by hand. >.>
The whole spread. Mashed potatoes turned out to be 'Fungus' (BAHA!!) and instead of 'sandwitches', we made 'Cannibal Burgers'.
Everyone oohed and aahed at the skull and crossed bones ice 'cubes'. *beams proudly*
Everyone present with the exception of Banu and yours truly (cos I was taking the picture :P).
Speaking of... It's Banu! And he's... covering his crotch. Niiice. >.>
A better, albeit blur picture of Banu. :P
Teo and Vinesh without their costumes...
...and with.
Reuby's idea of funneh. Which is horrific. LOL.
Nummeh.
Our Jack-o-Lantern in the dark. *squee* So cute!
We didn't get to watch
Halloween as planned because there were so many parties around. :( So I'm gonna head to bed as soon as I upload the photos to Facebook. Nevertheless, it was a good one. Hosting is always fun. :P
Happy Halloween!!
