Halloween Central!
I’m not usually into Halloween parties (or theme parties in general…I’m boring), but I do like all things Halloween, so this was a good weekend. (Hello….candy anyone?? I should buy stock in sugar…seriously.) Anyway, the Halloween festivities actually started about two weeks ago when I hunted down some pumpkins for the Rocket Scientist and me to carve. Let the fun begin:
PUMPKINS!
Gotta have a pumpkin beer when carving pumpkins!!
The Rocket Scientist hard at work cleaning out his pumpkin!
My Philadelphia-inspired “love” pumpkin!
The Rocket Scientist’s Phillies pumpkin! Too bad it didn’t keep until this weekend! The Phillies could use some help cheering tonight!
CUPCAKES!
My latest cupcake creation…MUMMY CUPCAKES! I saw these cupcakes on a website somewhere a couple weeks ago when I was looking for “fall themed” cupcakes and I knew I had to make them…they were just too cute! Check it out:
Too scary to eat!!
I love them!!
They were easy to make too…just lots and lots of white stripes and some M&M’s for the eyes. I’ll take any excuse to sneak M&M’s into something!
THE PARTY
The Rocket Scientist and I headed into Philly (in the pouring rain!) to go to a party that his friend was having. They strongly encouraged people to dress up, but I’m kind of lacking in the creative costume department, so I grabbed a bunch of stuff before I headed out the door to Princeton on Saturday. I think we ended up doing pretty good despite the last minute decision making…
I was a baker (complete with the mummy cupcakes from above!) and the Rocket Scientist was a UPS man. His costume choices included either being a nurse or a UPS man, since whenever I wear my brown scrubs (the only scrubs I thought he would fit in), I feel like I should be working part-time at UPS or something. I think it worked out pretty well.

There’s a hand in the punch!!
With some friends…a baker, a UPS man, a nurse with the old man she cares for, and a bride and groom back from the dead! (They got married a month ago!)
Overall a pretty successful Halloween weekend! What did you dress up as?
Those pumpkin carvings are amazing – I haven’t carved a pumpkin in years!
I love those cupcakes – you are so talented! Sadly, I didn’t dress up for Halloween – I had to work!
I tried to carve a pumpkin last week but it was an epic fail. Haha.
I am on sugar overload too. My hand just keeps grabbing candy!
Those are the cutest Halloween cupcakes!!! They would also make a GREAT addition to our bakery menu
Rocket scientist is an awesome pumpkin carver–wow!
very successful!! Those cupcakes look awesome
M&Ms should always be involved, I agree. what are the white stripes???
Wow, I am TOTALLY impressed by your Halloween handiwork. The pumpkins AND the cupcakes? They both look great!
Wow! Your pumpkins are awesome! And so are those cupcakes! Too cute! I didn’t dress up as anything… boring I know!
Holy smokes, your pumpkins are AMAZING! And your cupcakes are just as awesome
omg those cupcakes are ADORABLE.
Those mummy cupcakes are too neat! We didn’t dress up, but we did spend Saturday night with our aprons on, making homemade cinnamon rolls!
