Which Old Witch?




Once upon a time, I was a Girl Scout leader; our troop hosted an annual Halloween Party for several troops in town. At my house.
My girls always hoped to scare the other troops enough to make them cry. And sometimes, we succeeded. Ours were the most popular Halloween parties in town.


But there were no terrors among the snacks. One of the standards: Witches' Hats.


It's the Eve of All Hallow's Eve. Have you carved your gourd lantern to get you safely through the streets of your village tomorrow night before the spirits rise up and snatch you?

Boo!





I am so late for Michael's Foodie Friday on her Designs By Gollum blog, that I am almost early for next week's!

Don't forget to fly over on your broomstick and take a look.

It's Witches' Hats On All Hallow's Eve Eve!


You need these:


You take the tinfoil clothes off these:


Don't they look better nekkid? You can't say that about everything, you know.


A confession. I should have gotten orange or even red tube frosting, not purple gel. They were out of both orange and red. So these will be plain witches' hats. No bling. It's Casual Friday . . . .

Put a dab of the icing onto the middle of the cookie,
and gently squoosh the kiss onto the cookie. Be careful!


The wafers are fragile.
It is all too easy to make this interesting 2-dimensional sculpture:


Chocolate Wafer Pac-Man.

Oops! A defect. There's been a mistake at the factory. Cheap help.
Look at this one:


I'll save it for Howard. :-)

Sshhh. . . . Don't look now, but we have a visitor.


Rudy the Ghost is checking out the witches' hats. He can't resist trying one on:


Not a good look, and it will slow him down passing through walls. Hat, gone.

Hat hair, here to stay.


That will teach him.
Rudy was in yesterday's post, and is getting used to the limelight I'm afraid.

Have a Happy Halloween! Help yourself to a cookie.

But not that one in the middle; that's reserved.

Again . . . BOO! -- Cass

P.S. Did you know that real witches' hats are really made of chocolate and cookies? True. Why else do you think they wear the hideous things? It's why witches smell like chocolate. And eye of newt.
