Late night shinanigans

I consider myself a 'guest chef' for my mom's dessert cafe (www.oldtowndessertcafe.com), and I've been collecting ideas for Halloween.  And finally- the time has come!  I got the green light to create Halloween themed treats!
Getting my thoughts in order was quite the process.  First, the easy part: bake.  When the counter was covered in mini cupcakes, chocolate and white that I dyed orange, I worked up some buttercream and went to town.  I made all kinds of wonderfulness:
Owls

Ghosts

Pumpkins


Cats

Eyeballs
 
Skulls

Spiders

Phew!  It was a lot of work!  I am quite pleased with the end result, I think they really have Halloween spirit!  Our kitchen suffered a bit.  Ethan joked that we were creating a dreamland for ants, a thought that had me verging on tears as I imagined waking up to my little creatures covered in little creatures.  This morning, however, we were ant free!!  Hooray!!  I think my creative bug has been satisfied for a few days...
