Halloween

At work we are throwing a Cyberween day - basically cyber security awareness and HALLOWEEN mixed (both scary ;o)  Below are some ideas I have been saving to add the "icing" on the theme... Hope they give you some inspiration too!

How cute are these! Found on MarthaStewart.com (link).  We are going to use these to put around the buffet room - kinda gives you room to decorate from the ground up! Site has easy template, though I am anxious to survey my Cricut collection to see if it has a mouse and I can cheat!

These labels would be the "icing" on any glassware, I am sure even plastic cups would look great too! ...p.s. I really love the little skull rings around the bottom too! (source)

These chocolate covered pretzel ghosts are just too easy and too adorable not to try to make this season! You could even up the cuteness by using a fondant tool to make ridges like mummy wrappings.  If you didn't want to use chocolate for the faces, I bet using an edible marker would do just great too...  (source)

I have been seeing TONS of halloween fondant cakes I would love to tackle, but I wanted to share this one because if you break it down, it really looks quite simple. (source)  I'll post pics if I attempt it! I have never made a topsy turvy cake, but from what I understand it's pretty simple.

These bags are the perfect takeaway from your Halloween event and super simple to make (I clipped this so long ago, I can't remember from where, but I think from a Martha Stewart Magazine)

Wine YUM!!

first - note to self, never start a new blogging effort right before vacation! ...second, I think I'll start this blog off with one of my favorite things - WINE!  Here are a few things I have found that would be great "icing" to a wine and cheese party....

These would be fantastic for a dinner party, happy hour or even a wedding (like shown here)! I don't remember the source (sorry! has been in my clip folder for way too long!).  These would even be cute as card holder with description of an appetizer or menu item on your buffet.... now to get to drinking enough bottles to save up the corks! (the fun part!)

This was a great idea to put corks in a vase for holding flowers... and yet ANOTHER reason to drink more bottles of wine! ;o)  You could even but a long candle in instead!  source

These coasters would be the perfect craft project to add to the tablescape.  You can add all the party information and have them as keepsakes.  But don't stop there! You can modify the theme for any type of event.

Can't leave the "icing" off the cheese tray! ...little chalkboard cheese markers (sold here) or you could make your own.  Chalkboard paint is sold at every craft store now and little mini frames are easy to come by too!

 HELLO!?!?! How fantastic are these!?! Little toothpick holders that can hold a little card! $5 bucks for 100 of these little guys sold here:  link

Born!

So I spend HOURS a day clipping from the internet - cupcake and cake ideas, party decorations and decorating ideas - my bookmark folders are SOOO overcrowded, so I thought today - HELLO!?!? Why don't I start a blog for myself to reference all these ideas and put them out there for anyone else looking for ideas. So here it is, Frost Me! Blog dedicated to all the "icing on the cake", whether it be an actual cake, room or event... enjoy!
