Halloween at the Hoods

Our Halloween party was last night, and based on the amount of recycling that went out this morning, the amount of food that was devoured, and the pictures as I puruse them this morning I would declare it a success!

The house is still in the middle of construction, so we made it haunted :)

Our house was full last night, and at one point I turned to Todd and said, "I had no idea we had made so many friends here!"  Not only do we have new friends, but we have fun friends who like to dress up!

I was asked to make cupcakes and a small cake for a Halloween-themed wedding today.  So, I spent the majority of the weekend baking, frosting, and decorating!  Todd was surprisingly helpful and even made several batches of icing for me while I frosted cupcakes!!  I haven't made a cake for anyone since I moved almost a year ago, so this was kind of an interesting experience in figuring out where I stored all of my cake stuff, and finding cake supply stores in the Orlando area!  I have had several people ask me about cake decorating lately, so I figured I would post some "behind the scenes" pictures!  Enjoy!!
