Tricky treats.

Juliana's class is planning a Halloween party for Monday.  She has volunteered to bring some food - juice boxes, a bag of chips, and 15 cupcakes.

Juice boxes?  I can do that.

A bag of chips?  No problem.

Fifteen cupcakes?  Whoa, baby.  This momma doesn't bake for crowds.  (And, wait, don't recipes make a dozen?  Now I've got to buy two boxes double the recipe?)

After some quick thinking, I told her that one kid shouldn't be responsible for all that food so I would only be sending juice and chips.

Cue the waterworks.

"But the cupcakes are the most important part of the party.  And you have to make them because a couple of the other kids are bringing some and there has to be one each."

I am beaten.  Fifteen cupcakes, it is.

Shall I just pick them up at the grocery store?  Nope.  Can't do that because she goes to school with the son of the woman who owns the cupcake store in town.  No kidding.  She makes cupcakes for a living.  Delicious cupcakes.  Gorgeous cupcakes.  Cupcakes with spooky, fun, Halloween names.

So now I'm trying to come up with ideas for easy, delicious, gorgeous, easy spooky, fun, easy, halloween toppings for cupcakes.

I'll let you know how it all turns out.

Could be scary.
