Every year, my roommates and I throw a "Nacho Pumpkin" party. We get together to carve pumpkins and eat nachos. I stole the idea for these "Caramel Apple Cookies" from the decorated cookie blog.
I also made fall leaf cookies, using royal icing and my Food Writer markers. (I need more practice with both.)
Also for the party, I made pumpkin cookies and candy corn cookies, using some sparkle Wilton frosting I found. You can kind of see those cookies in the background of the leaf picture, but I don't have any good pictures of just those cookies.
Another fun October event is my church's annual "Harvest Fest". We set up a carnival and invite everyone in the neighborhood to come play games and eat lots of treats and candy. I made some cookies for the treat table, and made four cakes for the cake walk. My original plan was to have a cake that looked like a pumpkin face, a cake that looked like a spiderweb, a cake that looked like Frankensteins monster, and a cake that looked like a caramel apple. Once I had frosting on all four, I realized the pumpkin cake looked goofy, but was okay, and the spiderweb and apple cakes were hot messes. I liked the Frankenstein face, so I decided to scrape all the frosting off of the other cakes and make them Frankensteins monsters, too. I'm not super proud of any of the cakes, but they worked out for the cake walk.

| Super goofy pumpkin cake. Not even the right orange color. |

| First Frankenstein cake. I used a different frosting, so he looks a little nauseous. |

| Frankenstein #2. Used to be a spiderweb cake. |
 |
| Frankenstein #3. Those sticks are to hold the Press and Seal wrap off of the frosting while I transported them to church. Don't want to make them look even more goofy. I'll try to be better about posting things in a timely manner. :) |
