Halloween Bakeries

[Belladonna]

Long's Bakery here in Indianapolis makes some great Halloween treats. I love going there.
September 1st they begin offering it, I can't wait!

Thanks for posting those pics Midnight Witch.

I've got a rough idea of how i'm going to do mine. Whether it turns out any good is another thing though!

Belladonna, September 1st, that means you can go get some this week!

Oh Jack, great photos of the pumpkins! I haven't used the stencil type much, I'm traditional.
But I love how those look! Yours turned out so well!

And yes, the wolf will be at the door, so to speak, come the 1st!

Why thankyou Belladonna, we do like carving our Jack O'Lanterns.

We let our 4 year old son paint his own one too. He loves pumpkins & Halloween!

Baking really isn't my forte, iHaunt. I am more of a barbecuer, but I have had some success with cake mixes and pre packaged cookie dough. Perhaps I can mix in some orang food coloring with a tube of Pilsbury.

Before any of the bakeries here start to display Halloween themed cookies and cakes, boxes of Little Debbie autumn cakes and cookies show up in our grocery store - saw some today and am so excited! The ones with the jack-o-lantern faces and layer of pumpkin filling in the middle are my daughters' and my favorite - it's not really that they taste all that great, they just help us get into the mood.

I do understand that, Mike. My grandpa told me that BBQ is good for u, but it is still going to roast your butt! So well I do love to bake some Halloween cookies and cakes! Also, cupcakes!

Like I said before, I have been known to add a little orange food coloring to a tube of Pilsbury cookie dough. They don't taste quite as good as my sister in law's cookies, but they come out alright. The little ones like them, as do I.

We get those "Little Debies" too. In fact, I caught a glimps of them at Berkots the other day when I had to shop for bar soap.

Ohh, that Lil Debbie's sweet swiss rolls.... they're good! So how about Hostess Twinkles? I love them!

[Pumpkin_Man]

I use to love the Hostess Twinkies, Cup Cakes and Suzie Qs, but they changed something about them, so they don't taste quite the same.

Hostess cupcakes are good too! My grandpa still loves them! Vanilla or Chocolate, doesn't matter!

[Pumpkin_Man]

I still enjoy a Hostess snack once in a while, but they are a far cry from the delicious treets I enjoyed when I was a kid. I don't know what they did, but they have, for lack of a better term, more of a "fake" taste to them. I think they use to use lard to make the cream filling, and they since went to som substitute which changed the tast drasticly for the worse. They still taste good, but they use to taste great.

My wife went to the local supermarket today & they had a couple of Halloween packaged cakes on sale. Got a pack of chocolate cakes with orange icing on the top. The cake also oozes "blood."

Also got a pack of the Jaffa Cake bars - Halloween style.

Mmm.

Jaffa cake bars? I'll check it out.
