I had the great fortune to be a judge at a Halloween-themed Dips and Desserts contest at work during lunchtime.
Oh, the sugar high! My colleagues can cook!
There were many great dishes and two distinct themes for Halloween: scary and cute. I’m with my friend, the cupcake maker: I don’t like scary.
Cute: fudge cupcake owls with Oreos and Reese’s Pieces

Scary: Brain cake (red velvet with fondant “icing” covered in raspberry jelly)

What’s your Halloween theme: scary or cute?
