'Happiness can be found in the darkest of places if one remembers to turn on the light'
Hi guys 👋🏻
I love Halloween! So I thought I would share with any of my fellow Halloween fans out there, what I’ve been up to this spooky season!
Let’s take a look…
What have you been up to this Spooky Season?
Until Next Time,

Hi guys 👋🏻🦇
October is here and that can mean only one thing!!
Halloween 🎃
I love a bit of Halloween, mainly because bats are my favourite animals, and it’s their time to shine, but also because I love a good horror film and I just love the spooky, autumn aesthetic.
Each year, I make a little Halloween hamper of sorts for my Nephews and Niece, and since the whole ‘Boo basket’ trend is going around, I thought I’d do my kids’ take on one…
Ideas for fun things to include…
Firm favourites with kids at the moment… slime! And fidget poppers. Both of these are only a few pounds in Tesco.
A cute little Halloween themed teddy. One of my nephews loves spiders, so I’m sure he will love that. Then I got the cute little pumpkin for my nievlce and the cute little frankie for my other nephew.
Some fun little cups which I’m sure they’ll get lots of use out of!
I also like to get them something to do or something crafty. These little ‘Paint your own wooden characters’ Halloween themed, of course, are from Asda for 2 (each pack has 2 characters inside!)
And finally…
Some edible goodies!
What’s Halloween without a sugar overload 😅🤣
I picked up the good old classic Freddos from Tesco in a multipack, and the Halloween chocolate lollies are from Aldi.
Fingers crossed, they will enjoy these! Hopefully, this has given you some inspiration if you fancy putting one together, too.
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
I hope you enjoyed Halloween on Thursday 🎃
What did you do?
If, like us, you are celebrating Halloween this weekend then this little recipe will be right up your street.
These bat cupcakes are super cute, chocolatey and my ultimate favourite flavour combo, chocolate orange.
They are perfect for the spooky season, a Halloween party, to make with the kids or to just to help you indulge with a cuppa this weekend.
So, enjoy!
What you’ll need…

Eat & enjoy!
I hope you like this little recipe idea, they taste heavenly or should I say devilishly good 👹
🎃🎃 Happy Halloween 🎃🎃
Inspired by Zoellas vlog and bake off I had a go at some creepy cupcakes ready for my sister Halloween film day/night. To see what we got up to for this take a look at my sisters blog post here.
Here’s what you’ll need:
You can also find the recipe here 🍰
I love Mary’s recipes as she goes for the ‘mix it all in together’ approach, which makes life a lot easier for even the most serious of bakers!
I started by weighing out all my ingredients carefully…
I prepped the chocolate writing fluid next by placing it in a jug of boiling water.
This helps the chocolate inside to melt ready for your piping. I would recommended buying two tubes of this if you haven’t done much piping as I used loads just practicing and then I ran out🙈
Once everything was ready I used my food processor (lazy I know!) to combine all the ingredients.
The mixture looks silky and smooth when it’s combined, good enough to eat like that!!
I like to use an ice cream scoop to put an even amount of mixture in each cupcake case. I couldn’t find any funky Halloween cases so I opted for spooky silver ones.
Whilst they were cooking I attempted piping…
Once my baking prong came out clean from the cupcakes I popped them on the cooling rack, the house smelt divine.
I cheated with ready prepared chocolate buttercream as I was pushed for time but the recipe I have linked includes what you’ll need to make chocolate buttercream too.
Here they are…
The piping isn’t great but I tried my best! Some didn’t go to plan so I improvised with shop bought ghost marshmallows to top half of them 👻
I got very excited when Zoella herself liked my picture of my cupcakes 🤗
Screenshot it of course haha 🙈
