dreaming of a white halloween

October 15, 2013

white pumpkin halloween

Who says Halloween decorating has to be black and orange?  I prefer white…think ghosts, tangles of spider webs, fangs…all white!  So, why not decorate with white?

Of course decorating with treats is a requirement…and there are some great white options.  Because I love white decorating, I often create white dessert tables at the holidays.  White is a fun option for Halloween treats also!

For visiting adults on Halloween, champagne bubbles are the perfect sweet!

Decorating a white Halloween. Create a white on white polka dot pumpkin by creating white dots with acrylic paint, white nail polish, or white felt and glue. Champagne bubbles in treat sacks continue the dot theme.

These “yum” sacks are better suited to the young ones.  Fill with white jelly beans, mini marshmallows, or white gum drops to appeal to younger tastes.

I made these ghosts from a traditional meringue recipe.  Flavoring them with root beer makes them a fun and different sweet for Halloween.  The color from the root beer extract also gives them a vintage color.  Eyes are easy to create with a toothpick and some black paste food coloring.

If you would rather purchase your ghosts, the traditional ‘Peeps’ come in ghost form…

I hope you are inspired to create some white Halloween of your own!
