| Carved up pumpkins |
It's nearly Halloween and what better way to prepare than to gather a bunch of girls together to carve pumpkins, decorate cookies and drink mulled wine. In fact I think this type of event is much more fun than dressing up and going out to get drunk on cocktails with horrible names!

| Pumpkin guts |
We took our pumpkin carving very seriously, with printed templates, inspiration booklets and pumpkin health advice.
Apparently the pumpkin dies a lot quicker if you remove its stem so we scooped out the seeds from the side instead.

| Halloween-coloured icing |

| Sprinkles!! |
We had some beautiful Autumn cookie cutters and loads of spooky sprinkles and we made up some suitably Halloweeny icing. Concentration was intense as we selected colour combinations, tried to get the icing just perfect and even drew designs onto the biscuits.
It was great fun and before we knew it, its was midnight! I'm already working on plans for a similar, Christmas-themed gathering. We can make Christmas decorations and ice more biscuits or maybe cupcakes, eat mince pies...
