Saturday is Halloween and I am excited. I’ve really gotten into Halloween in the last couple of years, mainly due to finding an excellent fake blood recipe last year and turning myself into a zombie/ghost thing. Pumpkin carving is also high on the to-do list, although I have yet to find a way of doing it that means I get a decent amount of flesh out of the pumpkin for eating.
Anyway, on Saturday some people are coming over and we’re going to zombie up and then go in to town. I was going to make chocolate chip gingerbread, carrot cake muffins and vodka jelly. Then I thought that perhaps this was too much cake for a gathering that will probably only last an hour or so. And now I can’t decide – how much cake is too much? Is it a bit silly to make what is essentially two whole cakes just for one little party?
Will this ever end? 2 cakes today could turn into 3 next year and by the time I’m 30 I will be making hundreds of cakes for every gathering, desperate to feed people something they like. I do hope I’m not on a slippery slope made of cake, cream-cheese icing and desperation.
The vodka jelly should be exciting though – I’m going to put jelly worms in it. WIN.
