Iowa Baking Influencer Offers Up Tasty Halloween-Goody Ideas
Ok hear me out, I am only slightly biased when it comes to my tasty snacks, treats, and goodies, especially at this time of the year when spooky season is just around the corner, and I have a fall birthday!
One of the many amazing birthday / Halloween cakes I have been spoiled with over the years.
Well, my wife, Ashley Ehlers (aka girlthatcakes) has been baking for quite a few years and is quite the buttercream sugar artist. She's been working with brands like Wilton, Sweets & Treats, and many others to inspire bakers with new ideas for great products.
Now, she may not sell any of these items or goodies, but she can definitely make your Halloween spooky, fun, tasty, and unique this year. Check out some of my favorite girlthatcakes Halloween and Fall concoctions and make this year spooky-sweet!
Working with companies that provide sprinkles offers up some pretty cool collaborations, like this killer hot chocolate mug cake. Now I know what you're thinking, "that's all fine and dandy, but there is no way I can make that cake!" Not to worry there are so many neat ideas to make your season festive and fun! For example...
This spooky take on the classic hot cocoa bomb is the perfect way to catch up on some zombie flicks and stay toasty warm this fall. Now, I don't know about you, but this time of the year I am always on the hunt for those Resse's Peanut Butter Cup pumpkins, but I can do you one better! Try out these three-ingredient butterfingers!
These things are the ONLY way to make Candy Corn edible, as far as I am concerned. Looking for an easy treat that looks just as neat, check out this mummy!
It's as simple as melted white chocolate, marshmallows, and some candy eyes. Keeping with the easy theme, switch out that mallow for a pretzel and you've got a salty-sweet and spooky treat.
These are always one of my favorites, easy to chomp on the go! Keeping the easy trend running, a fall flavored snack mix is always a winner at any party or get together.
Better yet, grab a cupcake set from Walmart and make it happen just like this.
There are always interesting pans, sprinkle mixes, and food colorings available to take any idea to the next level. Like I said, some of the specialty pans make festive treats even easier to create.
If you're really good with baking, decorating, and imaginative design take on a challenge like my birthday cake from a few years ago.
This cake SCREAMS, I only have EYES for you. If you're not into all the hassle and work, just opt for some delicious chocolate chip pumpkin bread.
It's good for breakfast or as dessert. So there you have a few festive ideas to get your fall started right. Easy recipes, cool ideas, and a whole lot of festive-fun from the Drake house to yours this fall!
