Last week, inspired by my awesome friend Nicole, we had our "first annual" Mom and Child Bake-Off! It was a BIG hit! The whole point (besides an excuse to hang out with other moms) was for the kids to be in charge. So katelyn helped me make and deliver the invitations, make decorations, we even colored Halloween pictures on plates and cups! Then the kids were supposed to do as much of the baking as possible, and at the party they voted for the Best Tasting and Best Looking treat awards.
Katelyn with a sample of the treat we made- rice crispie jack-o-lanterns! So fun to make!
The treat table mid-way through the party- everyone had such great and delicious ideas!! The winners are both at the back left though. Best tasting- "Party in the graveyard", an Oreo/brownie/pudding/whipped cream delight! And Best looking- "zombie eyeballs", peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate with a realistic m'n'm pupil and red lines, wow!
This is the last of the punch I made, witch's brew, after most of the sherbet had melted and the ice-cubes-with-gummy-worms-frozen-in-them had all been taken. It was delicious and cool-looking. :)
We are DEFINITELY doing it again next year!!
wow that looks awesome! did you do this with the girls you do preschool with? glad to hear you are liking halloween more, it is a holiday with oh so many possibilites for coolness...
