Halloween Cookies

I know it's not halloween yet, but a little preparation never hurts huh? And the girls have been so busy on the Wii, or off playing witches, vampires or Scooby-Doo, I wanted to do something nice together today.
So Sienna and I whipped up a batch of chocolate biscuits, some orange icing and the girls got decorating.

Still loving these gel pens, and I grabbed a black one this week. Perfect for Halloween.

Kyla made a little ghost for her first one.

Denver made a spider. "Mum, how many legs again?" Lol.

Sienna made a 'pumpkin' which was really just some icing and sprinkles, but so cute anyway.

She enjoyed it too!

Kyla's second biscuit was a pumpkin too.

Madi made a 'spider' which was really an excuse to use a whole lot of chocolate chips.

SO Madi. She also made a witches face, complete with ugly mole :)

I decorated some too, and the girls generously offered to eat them for me. I think next we will do Halloween cupcakes.

Yes, more baking!

I know it seems like all we do is bake and cook and eat, but honestly, it's what gets us through these cold winter / spring days. I found some little tins when I was doing a spring clean this week, and thought the girls might enjoy decorating some little cakes. Madi picked the rabbit, Kyla the chicken, Denver the heart and Sienna the butterfly.


I got a range of decorations out, including the gel pens. I got some different colours the other week, I totally love these things.

The great thing about these tins as they come with recipes to make each tiny cake, so the girls all made their own. Less arguements.
