If you remember back and few months, I talked all about using one of those spin art machines to decorate sugar cookies. Well, my good friend Jennifer (of www.JenniferPerkins.com) suggested that I use just black icing to create spider webs using the same technique and they turned out super cute! They are a little bit […]

When my sister and I were little, my mom used to make us a cake that she called spider leg cake. It went along with our spider house, that no matter what we did, always seemed to have daddy long leg spiders out on the porch. My mom would joke that she used some of […]

If you are looking for even more fun Halloween crafts, you need to head over to my friend Jennifer Perkin’s blog for the guest post I did on color blocked Halloween cupcake picks.
