Trick or Treat

I made another treat table to celebrate Halloween. I focused on pumpkins as my main theme and the colors orange and green allowed for a nice pop! I featured an assortment of candy like gummy skeleton's, eyeball gum balls and pumpkin lollipops. For desserts I purchased some pre made whoopie pies and pumpkin sugar cookies that I decorated with frosting. I kept this table at a reasonable price point by using items I already owned and purchasing some of the decorative elements from the dollar store.  To add a festive touch to the glasses I applied stickers with spooky words and fun pumpkin straws. Here's to a Happy Halloween!

Halloween Snack Table

To celebrate the start of October I put together a fun and easy Halloween sweet and salty snack table. I used a fuzzy faux fur blanket as my tablecloth. It added a bit of texture to the overall tablescape. I placed orange wrapped chocolate candies in some glass containers and also used goldfish crackers and cheese balls to balance out all the sweet. Since I decided to put this together last minute, I purchased some premade snack cakes and brownies. I used one of my paper punches to make cute Halloween toppers for the desserts. I also lined the plates with scrapbooking paper to add some additional color. The foam pumpkins had stickers on them which said "Haunted Halloween".  I am so glad the Fall is upon us!
