Excited for Halloween?

I am not that excited for Halloween. If you have read my previous post about cakes and cupcakes inspired by Halloween, I am just jealous of the western because they get to celebrate Halloween party and prepare cakes, cupcakes and pumpkin ice cream. In this case, I am just left to wonder and daydream and of course, just let me crave for these mouth watering cakes in pictures.

Cupcakes with bats on top. I don't what is this really called aside from cupcake.

Probably the one above is a carrot cupcake and with pumpkin icing or whatever and then with frosting. I am not really sure with this but I find it cool for Halloween.

Now this is a real Halloween Cupcake. I mean the one before this is real, but this one is a perfect spooky thing.

I find the frosting so cute. Plus the eyes they have, it adds more perfection to it. Chocolate cupcake and vanilla icing. PERFECT.

How about you, what makes you excited for Halloween?
Enjoy and Crave

Ice Cream for Halloween

Do you want Pumpkin Ice Cream? photo credit to AntyDiluvian

Naive as I am, always, I do want to try Pumpkin Ice Cream. I have read from various reviews and comments, that a successful pumpkin ice cream should have the taste of pumpkin, as the main ingredient. Or rather the puree or the mixture of pumpkin must taste like pumpkin because the ice cream will not taste good either.

I've also learned that this ice cream is best to pair with gingerbread. Hmmm... sounds nice. I sound so naive too.

Pumpkin Gingerbread Ice Cream from pastrystudio

If you are interested in preparing Pumpkin ice cream for Halloween, here is a recipe from David Lebovitz. I won't be sharing the recipe on my recipe section because the procedures might cover the entire page, so just feel free to visit his site. On the other hand, I found a simple recipe for this desert. Try checking the recipe section.


For the last time here is something cool to try for Halloween too, Ice cream filled Oranges. haha. Oranges are scary too..something new to do aside from carving pumpkins.

Happy Halloween. Enjoy and Crave.

Halloween Cakes and Cupcakes

We are now in the month of October. I do not live in the Western, so I am quite surprised that our Tumblr followers are excited for Halloween and we have received messages asking for any Halloween photos of cakes, cupcakes and ice creams too.

Here are our top picks for this coming Halloween.

This is quite simple. But, I should not say much because I do not know how to create something like this.

These cupcakes made me laugh. Smiling.. :)

 When I was young, most of the cakes I can see are in white or chocolate frosting only. Later, my eyes could not believe there are blue, yellow, red and orange as like this. Here from us, we do not really celebrate Halloween this sumptuous. As long as the day is peaceful, it is enough.

This is from The Cake Bar - Orange Layer Pumpkin Pie

Halloween Cupcakes. Look at these little things.. Booo!

This is one of my favorites. Simple yet cute, especially the mallows on top of it.

 Hence I do not really prepare something like this during Halloween, allow me to share all of these to you. Check the recipes section if you want the recipe for orange later pumpkin pie.

Enjoy and Crave.
