Last night we attended a church activity where they were hosting a cupcake walk (don’t you love cake walks?) and so I turned to Kissing Cupcakes for some inspiration for the cupcakes I had signed up to bring. She pointed me toward these super-simple candy corn cupcakes and TH can attest that I squealed loudly many times while icing them because I thought they were so dang cute! I used this recipe for the chocolate cupcakes and the icing and then just dyed two bowls of icing orange and yellow and piped the colors on one-by-one. I took home an empty cupcake carrier at the end of the night so I think they were a hit!

TH and I are doing the same thing we did last year on Halloween night, staying home in our sweats and watching a scary movie while we carve pumpkins. I really wanted to dress up at some point though, so I used the ward party as an excuse to make TH dress up in some way. There was no way I was going to get him into what one normally thinks of when they think “costume” so I went the witty route.

The signs were a hit with That Husband, and everyone else who read them so I’m thinking I’m going to have to work hard to come up with something similar each year! I’m excited to carve pumpkins tonight, as it is one of my favorite holiday rituals and I always get really into it. (See this photo of my 2007 pumpkin, and this one from 2008.) I’m thinking something baby themed this year as we did the wedding theme last year?
