Helen from Casa Costello is back with another baking round-up!

over to helen…

This month’s baking round up theme was so easy to choose – there’s an abundance of people baking for Halloween, and being so creative with their ideas. I’ve split the entries into two groups – Halloween Treats and Pumpkin Delights. Who knew there were so many ideas for using pumpkin – Gone are the days of only using the innards for soup!

Happy Halloween everyone!

 

1. My girls squealed when they saw Mummy Mishaps’ Pumpkin Pinata Cake
2. Cake Pops lend themselves so well to Halloween decorations. I love these Pumpkin Doughnut Pops by MumturnedMom
3. Mexican Pumpkin Patch Rolls with Chicken & Wasabi Mayonnaise
4. Fantastic Spider Cake – Love the piping on this from Just East

9. How fantastic is Dolly Bakes’ Skull Cake? Those scary eyes!
10. And lets go the whole hog with some black Iced Buns with Green Goo courtesy of Bangers & Mash
