Oktober Fest
Last Sunday, I hosted some girlfriends at my place for an afternoon filled with comfort food (including peanut butter and jelly sandwiches rolled in sprinkles), spiked apple cider, Halloween films and some cupcake decorating. Two days later I’m still in a bit of a food coma, but have already begun planning for next year’s party.

I love that you blog so much about food and cooking… It’s suprising that I don’t considering I probably spend more money on food than I do on fashion, haha

Yum those look delish! And seems like you have a lot of patience with your cooking. Very festive and cute! Did you hear about the Conde Nast titles that folded? Including the favorite cooking mag – Gourmet! I know you worked at Teen Vogue (I’m a former intern) so I’m sure you can feel for the CNP employees. Blogged about it here: http://www.manhattancupcake.com/2009/10/cookie-crisps.html
Your treats look like so much fun! I want to attend an awesome party like this. Jeez.
Will definitely have to try the pbj+sprinkles. What a simple way to make something look more festive!

Halloween parties are the best! This year we are going to have a pumpkin party and carve pumpkins and maybe I’ll whip up my pumpkin pie martinis and make a nice butternut squash soup and ‘mice’ cookies for dessert. Yum.

I love Halloween so much. And your food ideas.
This looks inviting
I love this idea how cute…. it has inspired me to have a lil soiree with my girlfriends.. though I’m not a great baker! lol
