Halloween Tips

It's easy to customize a packaged cake mix for Halloween. Just stir 2 Tbsp. Halloween-coloured sprinkles or miniature chocolate chips into the batter, and then bake as directed for a fun and unexpected surprise.
Transporting cupcakes can be as scary as the ghouls and ghosts running around on October 31st. Bakery-style boxes, which can typically be found at craft stores or in grocery store bakeries, are perfect for toting your cupcakes to your party destination. A disposable foil casserole pan with a lid works just as well in a pinch.
Halloween treats are about more than just candy. Take the extra step and serve delicious treats, such as caramel apples, home-baked cookies and/or decorated cupcakes, at your next Halloween party.
Dress up your favourite cakes and cookies with simple toppings, such as Halloween-coloured frostings, candy corn or Halloween-themed sprinkles.
Put your cakes on display by borrowing a variety of cake stands from neighbours and friends and using them to serve a variety of bite-sized desserts. Silver, white or black cake stands will fit in well with your Halloween décor.
To make your favourite crispy treat recipe spookier, top with Halloween-themed sprinkles or drizzle with melted orange, black, or purple candy melts.
Hosting a pumpkin carving party? Roast the seeds while the guests are busy carving their pumpkins. Then send each guest home with a bag of the roasted seeds as their party favour.
Curb candy appetites by giving your trick-or-treaters an early meal or nutritious snack before they head outside. It may prevent a Halloween tummy ache later!
Always accompany young ghosts and goblins when they are out trick-or-treating. Stick to familiar neighbourhoods and houses.
When trick-or-treating at night or on cloudy days, make sure children wear reflective clothing and carry a flashlight.
Think costume safety. Avoid clumsy shoes or boots. Opt for face paints, available in special kits, rather than vision-restricting masks.
Inspect all candies before the kids dive into them. Discard any that are unwrapped or have torn wrappers.
Discard fruit and homemade treats unless you personally know their source. When in doubt, throw it out!
When lighting a carved jack-o-lantern, always use a candle with a solid base. To prevent a fire hazard, never leave a candlelit pumpkin unattended.
