Halloween Tutorial Round-Up!

If you follow us on Instagram, or you’re familiar with our blog, you’ll have noticed that we’re crazy for Halloween. From cute little ghouls to creepy crawlies we love it! With lots of us set to celebrate in lockdown we thought it would be fun to take you though a run down of some of our favourite spooky treats we’ve made over the years. Keep reading for our Halloween Tutorial Round-Up!

Creepy fondant spider tutorial!

These realistic creepy crawlies were, and still are, a big hit! As you’ll see from the rest of this round-up we love cute halloween sweets but there’s just something about their glistening round bodies and life-like legs we can’t get enough of. They’re super easy too, follow the link above to give them a go yourself, but remember - they’re not real!

Easy ghost cookies tutorial!

Chubby bodies, tiny arms and adorable faces! Who wouldn’t love these sweet ghouls? We make a lot of cookies but Halloween really gets our creativity going with endless adorable motifs for inspiration.

Trick or Treat cupcake topper tutorial!

Who doesn’t love a Jack O-Lantern stuffed with Halloween candy?! This miniature take on the classic Halloween trope is perfect to adorn cupcakes, and cakes with. Obviously it had to have sprinkles as the candy.

Fondant bat tutorial!

We’re a sucker (get it?) for this little bat! It’s definitely a firm favourite of ours and will be found on Instagram and Facebook every year once October hits. The little sideways smile and tiny (non-threatening) vampire teeth are just simply adorable.

How to make edible eyes!

This simple tutorial is essential if you love cute over creepy! They can be added to monster cupcakes, ghoulish fondant characters and even macarons as seen above. They’re so simple and effective!

Spider cake pop tutorial!

The second spider entry on this list, though maybe not as scary? These cake pops with candy legs, goggly eyes and sweet little smiles are perfect for kids’ (and big kids) get togethers.

There you have it, our favourite Halloween tutorial round-up just and each one ghoulishly good fun! Which will you make first?

Cute Halloween Cupcake Decorating Tutorials!

Last month we posted up our Instagram #reel tutorials for Autumn to help everyone find a fun way to decorate treats for the season. Now it’s time for some cute yet spooky treats! Here are three super cute (and quick) Halloween cupcake decorating tutorials for the spooky season. Bonus? They’re all under 15 seconds long. Also, each one is available via our Instagram reels channel. We’ve tried to make each as easy and pain free as possible. Perfect for novices OR for anyone pressed for time.

Here is our super cute and chic ghost cupcake tutorial! What’s cool about this how-to is that you can easily adapt it for cakes. Simply stick your lollipop(s) into the top of your cake and decorate. You can also draw on different facial expressions, use sprinkles to add details or create small bows, or hats for a different look.

Autumn and Halloween Treats for UK Delivery!

They’re here! It’s time to treat yourself and grab one of our seasonal goodies for UK delivery via our e-store now that it is officially autumn. With social distancing and lockdown restrictions we’re sure everyone needs something sweet to look forward to. Why not have macarons, cookies etc sent to a loved one? With each parcel you can add a personalised note too. Perfect for when you miss your friends, need to say thank you or think someone special deserves a pick-me-up!

Autumn treats for UK delivery!

Say hello to our Pumpkin Spice Latte Macarons (or PSL Macarons)! These six beauties are all dressed up as shimmering white and gold pumpkins. Each light brown macaron is piped with a cute pumpkin design before they’re filled with our coffee and pumpkin spice infused buttercream. Then they’re nestled into our small white & rose gold branded gift box. Such a chic and seasonal way to see in the autumn months.

Still loving pumpkins? Our Pumpkin Patch cookie set is both stylish yet spooky… the sweetest Halloween treat! We’ve created five different pumpkins in Madagascan vanilla featuring Halloween sprinkles, pink icing drips and shimmering gold accents. These are great for small family parties. You can even add these to fun Halloween trick or treat bags for the kids (or grown ups)!

Halloween Treats for UK delivery!

Each season we launch a cool treat bag and this Halloween is no different! Inside every white and gold polka dot gift bag (with creepy googly eyes) is a special seasonal sweet. Sink your teeth into one of our Caramel Chocolate Covered Oreos decorated with a sprinkle studded royal icing pumpkin. Add our huge Pumpkin Spice Marshmallow to your hot chocolate for an after dinner treat. Or why not enjoy the cute Halloween macarons with a scary movie!

What’s inside?

Ghost cookie in Madagascan vanilla
Zombie bear macaron in Belgian chocolate
Brains macaron in Strawberry
Marshmallow in Pumpkin Spice
1 x Pumpkin Oreo in Caramel Chocolate
2 x Pumpkins in Belgian White Chocolate and Pumpkin Spice

One of our favourites in our autumn treats collection are these super cute Halloween macarons! They’re adorable zombie teddy bears filled with Belgian chocolate buttercream. We’ve then paired them with creepy pink macarons piped with royal icing brains and filled with a gooey strawberry centre. These are great for the kids, but we also think they’d make the perfect gift for a fun-loving grown-up.

If you’re hoping to create a spectre-cle (see what we did there) then why not add our ghost cookies to your basket? This set of 5 Madagascan vanilla cookies feature a different design on each. We’ve studded them with themed sprinkles and added the cutest expressions too. How fun would these be at your lockdown family Halloween bash!

We hope you enjoy these cute seasonal treats as much as we enjoyed making them. We still have our large macarons boxes to finalise (so excited about these) and add to keep your eyes peeled! However, you spend your autumn months please stay safe and sweet!
