7 we modeled a little green fondant is that the alien form. First, to make the eye, we get a white gum ball that we covered in part with green fondant and painted it with a black edible color marker the pupil of the eye.

They enjoyed much giving body to their small gourds of vanilla. The cookies came out great and were delicious!... scary!.! As you can see, these recipes are obvious signs that the muffins and cookies are not at odds with the cooking naturally. Halloween decoration gives you fun and magical touch.

Then we make a terrifying Crafts for House. First they did some ghosts and pumpkins for windows. With white cardboard and scissors and his hands!.

Finally we did lights, or candle cups pumpkin. We lined a plastic cup with help of silk paper orange color. With grey cardboard cut eyes and mouth that we stick with agarbatti. Then a small candle inside jar, and a thread out... We managed to make a lit pumpkin. What a way to transform a plastic cup in a simple and easy way!... and very colorful at the same time. Children thought with the effect of the lighted candle and promised to turn home the candles the night of Halloween, that Yes, provided they are accompanied by an adult.

Finally, when it comes to appetizers (we were 3 hours) were eating a delicious worm sandwichmade with hot dogs dipped in ketchup. The sausages are cut lengthwise into four pieces each so that they leave long, finite strips of sausage. Put into the MIC directly, and by magic, it seems that they come alive and be rizan. They bathe in ketchup and bread. They looked like real worms!

Finale with diploma and happier than some castanets. Everyone enjoyed and had great. They were asking for another course soon. Now mismito plan one Christmas, but first the of greatest pastry: 23 and 24 November in cuckoo with very colorful cakes. I hope you apuntéis and enjoy equal to children did. Run because places are limited!
