Ghoulish Goodies: Creature Feature Cupcakes, Monster Eyeballs, Bat Wings, Funny Bones, Witches' Knuckles, and Much More!

Of the Halloween books I have read over the past few weeks, this is hands down the best! The introduction is full of nostalgia and visions of Halloweens past. I could not help but smile and nod my head in agreement as she described the excitement of sorting candy in front of the television before bedtime or trading your spoils with your siblings. The introduction is also full of practical information that one should read before rolling up your sleeves to create these festive treats. As a matter of fact, I attempted my first cookie icing (royal icing recipe on p. 61), at her bidding. She was right! It is incredibly simple and beats out any store-bought icing I have purchased in the past. I also purchased paste colorings for the first time (based on her recommendation). I originally checked this book out from the library, but after my family went nuts for the first few recipes, I knew I had to purchase this book and make it a permanent part of my personal library. I cannot wait to photograph the food for our Halloween party this year! Oh, and did I mention that the recipes are delicious? Happy Halloween!

Overall, I enjoyed the author; she's punchy and funny, and delivers great recipies that I can definately use. However, there are a few flaws to this book that make me wish I had purchased the printed copy. While the few pictures were in full color (at least on my PC) there weren't nearly enough pictures for the price of this e-book. There are several recipies that do not have any pictures, and some have cartoony, "concept" artwork that leave much to be desired. Also, the repeatitive instructions gives it an almost condescending tone - nearly every recipe that required melted chocolate explained how to melt it in either the microwave or in a double-boiler. Once would have been enough; no need to beat it over our heads.Would I recommend this book for others? Sure, if you can get it on sale, or in printed form. Otherwise, don't waste your $10.00.

Creative. Very good recipes can be adapted for year round use....All of the recipes, such as 'Cup of Worms', 'Pumpkin Soup with Cheese Croutons', 'Spiderweb Pumpkin Cheesecake', 'Bite-Your-Tongue Spiced Cider, etc., can be served any time of the year. As for ghoulishly decorated items, the decorations can be modified for use beyond Halloween.

This is a great book with satisfying fun recipes to make with your kiddo! I hosted a Halloween party for my kid and her friends gobbled up the stuff from these recipes.

Certainly worth the small cost, so three stars. But I was disappointed in the number of recipes that have no photograph of the finished item. Given the topic of this cookbook, a photograph of every recipe would have made the book more useful and fun to flip through. For those recipes with no picture and a humorous name, you need to read the recipe to find out what it is. But there are some fun ideas and largely the recipes seem easy enough.

I pre-ordered this book and I'm glad I did! The recipes in this book are great for childrens parties and some are fancy enough for an adult halloween party. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet but they appear easy enough to follow and the photographs are beautiful. Makes me want to pull out the mixing bowls and get started. If you are a fan of Halloween like I am this is definitely a book to add to your collection. Happy Haunting!!

So I love to bake and I love Halloween. This clearly means I need to combine the two together. This is an adorably cute Things-that-go-bump-in-the-night cookbook. It's an absolute blast to use with pint sized grade schooler as well. Love it!!!

I purchased this book for my daughter as she does cakes on the side and I thought that it had some "GREAT" ideas for Halloween. She really liked this book and will do some of the items that are in this book. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes to try new things for Halloween.

Potentially my favourite of my Halloween cookbooks!Full of brilliant ideas and things to make, and it isn't the usual "here's some simple things to make suitable for kids parties" alot of the things in here have fairly sophisticated flavours and decorations.

this is a very nice book that has some ghoulish recipes and ideas in it lots of fun for halloween or a spooky party

This is a great Halloween cook book. There is a wide selection of recipes, many which I have not seen before, and a fun mixture of artwork and recipe photos.
