Our schools have a Healthy Eating Policy. Well, all of Scotland does really, and quite rightly so. I believe that our fair country may be the fattest in Europe, something about which I'm not proud. I'm an honourary Scot, having lived here for over 15 years now, and am still not a fan of deep-fried Mars Bars (seriously, someone in Glasgow 'invented' them!).
As such, school children aren't allowed to bring in cakes for their class on their birthdays (neither are nursery children) but I'm very lucky to have been given permission by our Headmaster in the past to bake (and take in with Mini-1) mini cupcakes for various class parties. And so I was allowed again, for the class Halloween party.
Mini-1 chose orange icing with chocolate sprinkles because it was the most Halloween-y thing we possessed. Oh no, actually we used graphite grey glitter (sold it by being told it was as good as black, but it isn't! Don't let them fool you, if you want black glitter, buy black glitter, grrr). And I made enough for her class and teacher - and they were very happy indeed!
See, it's not black enough, is it? Never mind.
And here's a random, lovely swirl in white that was done the same day, with a Wilton 2D nozzle rather than my usual Wilton 1M one...
And here's a photo Mini-1 and Mini-2 in costume, ready to go out Trick or Treating. Mini-2 has her face painted like that because she wore her pumpkin costume to nursery earlier, in case you were wondering. They had a fabulous evening, just like they remembered from last year. The matching costumes and a couple of lousy jokes won most people over, and they had quite a haul of sweeties.
