Halloween Baking with Sassafrass!
Posted by Candi on Oct 19th 2018
Halloween is coming, Halloween is coming! That’s right, in just a few short weeks, it will be time to start getting costumes ready, candy prepped and goodies baked for this frightfully fun holiday! That “Halloween is coming” chant? Yeah, that is what my kids have been saying for weeks, but I’m going to be honest with you, I haven’t even started my Halloween shopping for my kids. Not one single bit of preparation has been done yet. Does that make me a bad mom?
Cookies and cupcakes are the treats of choice around here and the kids and I have a lot of fun baking both of these classic goodies. We do a thing though, where the cupcakes and cookies we bake have a holiday theme to them and we go all in with it! For Valentines Day we do hearts, for Christmas we do trees and snowmen, for Thanksgiving we do turkeys and for Halloween we do a little bit of everything. Thankfully, Sassafrass has just about every design of baking kit we can ask for! We can just go with the Halloween usuals or we can coordinate our baking with our costumes! I mean, how fun is it for a little princess to bring princess cookies to a party or a little wizard prepping some wizard treats? It’s so much fun!
