My mother in law needed to do a table and her enrichment night activity. The theme of the enrichment night was a festive table display of decorations and food items that each person doing a table would use for the specific month/ holiday they were assigned. Roxie signed up to do the Halloween/ October table. So she called in the "experts" my sister in law chrissy and i (not really experts thats just what my mother in law called us (which i think she did just to get us to do it)). We came up with some things that hopefully everyone at the enrichment night liked. We had Pumpkin Stew (which was delicious!), Apple cider a la mode (combination of apple cider and scoops of vanilla ice cream that floated on top), Eyeball cakeballs ( we had a cakeball recipe but you can also use donut holes and dip them in white chocolate and drizzle red frosting in squiggly lines to make the eyes look bloodshot and then a you put a chocolate chip in the center), Spice cake cookes (that we frosted and drew eyes on, spiders, webs, or there were some with BOO written on), Salty Bones-whats halloween without a skeleton! (the salty bones were made out of the premade breadstick dough that comes in those pilsbury cans cut 1 inch slits at each end of breadstick and fold the slits back and down and you kind of pinch them to where they look like bones. You lightly butter, add salt then cook following cooking instructions on breadstick can.) And last but not least the Hairy Daddy Long Leg cupcakes ( after you make the cupcakes frost them with chocolate frosting, add chocolate sprinkles to make them look hairy, add bassett allsorts black liquorice candy for the eyes, and liquorice rope cut into 4 inch strands and bend in half then stick them into cupcake for the legs.) Everything turned out great and everyone seemed to like what we had. So i think it turned out to be a success and i had fun putting it together but im also glad its over.
