Speaking of Halloween, if you’re in the market for a sweet treat to send in for your kid’s Halloween party next week, you might want to check out this cool site.  I first came across Bakerella a few months ago when I was following links from a ‘photography tips’ site.

I was quickly won over by her adorable collection of cupcake pops.  Not only are they clever and fun, but they’re made from a cake mix – which is right up my ‘quick and easy’ alley.  I tagged the site but sort of forgot about it until yesterday when I was searching for fun food ideas for elementary school parties.  When I caught a glimpse of her awesomely bad Halloween pops, I knew I’d found what I was looking for. 

They’re the perfect sweet treat for elementary-age kids…easy to handle, colorful, and a huge step up from the boring orange cupcakes you can pick up at the grocery store.  I was able to buy all the supplies I needed to make a big batch at WalMart for under $8.  I haven’t put them together yet, but thanks to Bakerella’s detailed instructions, I’m hopeful that I can pull them off.

If you’re on the list to send in treats next week, you might want to give these little charmers a try.  Just thought I’d pass it on.
