It was my mother’s birthday this week. This year she didn’t want a birthday party [actually she forbade one and refused to let me put 81 candles on her cake or have any fun] so we decided to have a Halloween party. We held this today and everyone had a great time even if it was about 35 degrees Celsius in the shade.
Jelly Bones, the fondant skeleton
Zombie Sugarbear
Count Sugular
Coffin cake with a Halloween creature tea party
I also used AllAuthor backgrounds to create this cute Halloween advert for my three scary books.
This post was written for Terri’s Sunday Stills prompt which you can join in here: https://secondwindleisure.com/2019/10/27/sunday-stills-is-anything-scarier-than-a-two-headed-hummingbird/
Robbie's inspiration 
Fabulous!

When it comes to Halloween decorations, I’ll take sweet and cute over gory and disgusting any day of the week. Please wish your mom a happy birthday for me!

I don’t really do gory, Liz. Even my horror writing is more about the despicableness of human nature [some people only, of course] and our blotted history than anything else.

I prefer that approach to horror as well.

Thank you, Annika. Fondant is fine but butter icing goes a bit sticky and is difficult to work with.
