If you think cutesy pink Valentine cupcakes are too sentimental and passé then wait until you check out these Bleeding Heart cupcakes. Instead of being cutesy hearts, they're almost gruesome, and the best part is that they actually bleed jam. I love how fun they are, and especially adore the use of marbles to create the indentations.

Last week I asked you to help me put together a package of fabulous Halloween goodies to send a friend in Spain. I was so busy planning and hosting my
Halloween bash, that I had no time to go to the store. Luckily you searched the web for caramel apples, cupcakes, candy, and any other special, spooky extras.

I was searching for a final cookie recipe to round out
National Cookie Month when I stumbled across one that looked like caramel apples. They were so cute and seemed like the perfect Halloween treat, so I headed to the store and grabbed a bag of caramels. The cookies themselves are pretty simple to make; they're basically a dyed sugar cookie dipped in caramel and put on a stick.

Last week I told you step-by-step how I was planning my
Halloween party. I showed you the
invitations, the
menu, the
drinks and the
decor. The party took place this past Saturday and although it was a fabulous success and the majority of my guests had a glorious time, there are a few things to make note of for the next time.
