DINNER TABLE SETTING BLACKBOARD / CHALKBOARD CHARGER PLATES

I saw these gold chargers for 99p but hate the look of the square gold leaf.

and had a light bulb moment.... Christmas, Halloween, Valentines and oh some more occasions

.....so I covered them with blackboard paint
(sand and use a good primer for plastics first).....

.....and used pastels on them (the colours are more vibrant than chalk).....

ready for Christmas dinner.

How about Santa's cookies plate on Christmas Eve?

They can be wiped clean and used for other occasions.

Ready for Halloween

 they look fab with white crockery on top!!!

HALLOWEEN MONSTER CUPCAKES

Sooooo CUTE!!!

How adorable are these Fur Ball and String Monster cupcakes?

These wide-eyed little creatures are from the book What’s New, Cupcake.

FUR BALL MONSTERS:

Ingredients:

12 vanilla cupcakes baked in orange, green, and purple paper cases
12 mini vanilla cupcakes, paper liners removed
1 can (16 oz) vanilla frosting

Neon green, orange, and purple food coloring
24 mini lollipops  unwrapped
24 peach or green apple gummy rings
24 brown mini candy coated chocolates (M&M’s Minis)
12 assorted color candy-coated chocolates (M&M’s Minis)


Directions:

1. Spoon 2 tablespoons vanilla frosting into a small ziplock bag. Divide the remaining vanilla frosting among three bowls and tint each a different color with the food coloring. Spoon each color of frosting into a separate ziplock bag, press out the excess air, and seal the bags.

2. Insert a lollipop stick through a gummy ring, pushing it through the candy from the center to outer edge. Bring the gummy ring up around the lollipop, like a bonnet, to make the eyes. Continue with the remaining gummy rings and lollipops.

3. Snip a small (1/8-inch) corner from the bags with the frostings. Pipe a dot of tinted frosting on top of the standard cupcakes. Place a mini cupcake on top, flat side down. Starting at the edge of the standard cupcake and using the tinted frosting, pipe furn with a squeeze-release-pull action. Continue until the entire exposed cupcake assembly is covered. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes and colored frosting.

4. Insert 2 like-colored lollipop eyes into the top of each cupcake assembly. Pipe a dot of vanilla frosting in the center of each lollipop and add a brown candy for the pupil. Add a colored candy to the top of the frosting for the nose. Repeat with the remaining lollipop eyes and cupcakes.



STRING MONSTER VARIATION:

Follow steps 1 and 2 above. Snip a small (1/8-inch) corner from the bags with the frosting. Pipe a dot of tinted frosting on top of the standard cupcakes. Place a mini cupcake on top, flat side down. Pipe the tinted frosting all over the cupcakes to make the string, making sure to cover cupcakes completely. Continue with step 4 above.



  Too cute to eat!!!
