1. Scoop out the watermelon using  melon baller to round shape,with that insert eye candy as eyes and add it to apple drink to get a spooky devil look to your drink

2. Like I said its not recipe its just an idea for halloween parties.

1. First melt white chocolate with double boiler process,never melt the chocolate in microwave,there is a tendency that chocolate may get burnt. Double boiling is nothing but, pour water in a pan let it boil,on top of it place another bowl that consist of white chocolate and it will get melted with the heat below.

2. Now wash strawberry,pat them dry with tissue. Then dip it inside the white chocolate liquid and coat them well.

3. Now place mini chocolate chips as eyes for ghost when the white chocolate is still wet.

4. Now melt little chocolate chip with double boiler process and keep it separate to draw eye brows and mouth.
5. When its all dry enjoy the yummy strawberry,perfect for Halloween night.

1. In a bowl whisk butter and sugar together(butter must be at room temperature soft and ready to whisk). It will turn soft and fluffy.

2. Now add vanilla essence and whisk well for a min. In a separate bowl sieve the flour well and add baking powder and fold it well.


3. Then add the flour little by little to the butter mix and mix them well till it become like dough. Now wrap them in a plastic wrap and store in fridge for 30 mins so they hold their shape well.

4. Now in a pan spread aluminum foil and grease with non stick oil, and take a small pieces of dough and roll it round and long. Place like shown in picture. Now with a help of fork make knuckles like lines to the dough, to get finger effect. Then place almonds as nails.

5. Now bake them at 340 deg F for 7 mins or till the bottom turns mild brown in color and remove from rack. Let it cool. Crispy and tasty cookies are ready with a perfect spooky with finger look.


6. To make the finger more spooky take almond out and spread little jam to the nail part and place back the almonds. Bleeding finger will just be perfect to freak out your guest.

7. With remaining dough I made snakes heheh.

1.In a large bowl sieve all purpose flour,cocoa powder(I used Hershey),baking soda,baking powder,nutmeg,ground cinnamon and keep it separate.


2.In another big bowl mix the butter and sugar that was kept at room temperature and whip them well for 5 min till they become fluffy and smooth.


3.To this add pumpkin puree(homemade)and mix it well,when its mixed add vanilla essence and mix it again.Then add buttermilk and stir for 2 mins.


4.To this add the flour slowly and keep mixing it nicely.When the mix reaches the ice-cream consistency I usually stop(I Personally feel the cupcake don't break or dry up when they are in this consistency)

5.Now place a liner on cupcake tray and fill the paste with 1/4 th cup,don't over fill because it needs space to rise and if over filled it will spill out and it will not get the required cupcake shape.

6.Now pre heat the oven to 375 degree F and place the tray inside,let it bake for 22 mins.When they are done remove it and let it cool for 20 min(prick with a stick in center and when it comes out clean it means the cupcakes are ready)

FOR CREAM CHEESE ORANGE FROSTING:
7.Now mix cream cheese,butter,vanilla essence,orange juice and orange zest and whip it well till they become smooth.To this add 2 cups of sugar and whip it fluffy.Add orange food color to this and ix it well.Then transfer the paste to the decorating pipe and give a nice swirl design on top of the cupcake.I loved the taste of the orange zest it definitely adds an extra perk to it.
