Happy Halloweek!🍫🍬🍭🎃
Instead of concentrating on my failures, I’m pivoting to something good. Today we’re flashing back for a fun video I made back in 2020. Enjoy your trip through the graveyard.🪦
Will you get a treat or a trick?
I hope you had fun sprinting through in the graveyard.
HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN!🎃
Happy National Chocolate Day!🍫
If you’ve been visiting the last few weeks, you have noticed me complaining about how hard it’s been to find information about real art and artists. Search engines are definitely biased towards ai and shopping networks. Since today is National Chocolate Day, I thought I’d share some chocolate works of art instead.
Chocolatiers are like double geniuses, transforming chocolate into art is incredible display of skill and imagination that seems supernatural. If there weren’t videos showing how they create these amazing chocolate sculptures step by step, I’d call it all witchcraft.
Patrick Roger is an incredible artist and chocolatier in Paris.
You can order these chocolate Halloween pumpkins from Patrick Roger’s website.
Of course, I’m going share the creations of the extraordinary chocolate art of Chef Amaury Guichon a.k.a. The Chocolate Guy.
There’s something soothing about watching one of the Chocolate Guy’s videos from start to finish.
These chocolate sculptures are so beautiful, I want to eat them all!
Happy Halloween!🎃

Happy Sinister Saturday! Baking is my second most hated chore, right after cooking itself. It’s just evil when you don’t know how to cook or bake and why can’t we make ai robots cook and clean for us instead of stealing our ideas??
I don’t do from scratch. Three ingredient boxed cake is hard enough as it is for non-baker. There’s just so much stirring!
Anyways, perfectly moist lemon supreme is a lie and the word moist should never adorn a box of any kind.
I used my Wilton’s pumpkin-shaped pan, which you can pick up online or a Michaels store near you, and for the rest of the batter, my Nordic skull cakelet pan came in handy. Although, their faces didn’t quite make it out of the pan. Note to self, grease the pan!
A few drops of yellow and red food coloring turned yellow lemon frosting orange and my latest creation was now a full-fledged pumpkin-shaped Halloween lemon cake.
It’s not so bad, I just need one of my Friday Fright Nightcaps to wash it down!
Happy Halloween!🎃
Happy Trick or Treat Tuesday!
Horror movies are the backbone of Hollywood. From Universal’s classic monsters to Hammer horror, 80s slashers to A24’s psychological terrors, every great horror movie has unforgettable characters, whether they’re vile villains or hopeful heroes. Can you match these totally awesome tubular 80s horror classics with their best characters?

After last week’s semi-fail (that’s two in a row), I decided to do an easy one. (shut up, three layer Jell-o is hard!)😆
Today’s pre-mixed batter is Betty Crocker Brownie Cups, Cookies and Creme version.
I’m not much of a baker, so anything with only 3 ingredients is king to me. That still doesn’t guarantee that I’m gonna follow the recipe correctly.
Luckily, everything started out alright and I managed to bake a perfectly nice little tin of 12 brownie bites
Unfortunately, they didn’t look much like graves and I guess I needed another ingredient or candy to embellish my brownies.
Luckily, they were delicious! So, not anything special to look at but they were yummy and that’s a total win!
Happy Halloween!🎃
It’s Timeless Thursday and today I’m celebrating the Milton Bradley’s classic board game from 1970, Which Witch!
Which Witch also went by the name Haunted House and there was apparently there was a release of the game in different style box in 1971.
The point of the game is get to the Charmed Circle at the top of stairs by moving through a spooky haunted house made of cardboard.
There are three witches that live in the house and rolling the die during their turn will direct a player to pick a card for either Ghoulish Gertie, Wanda the Wicked or Glenda the Good, each with instructions on what to do next.
Moving through this mysterious house isn’t so simple as it seems, as there are spells and traps, loose floorboards, moving walls, danger spaces, and some type of swinging broom.
Sadly, I never got to play the game back in the day, but everytime I see one on eBay, my inner seven year old tries to possess my wallet! If you’ve ever had the chance to play, hit me up in Comments with some stories!
Happy Halloween!🎃
