Halloween Breakfast Treats - Ghost Toasties


Here's a fun way to serve breakfast for your hungry goblins for Halloween!  Use a ghost shaped cookie cutter to remove the insides of bread slices.  Place buttered bread slices onto a griddle or pan and pour egg whites into the middle and let them cook.  You can make the ghosts stand out a bit more by adding black food coloring to some ketchup.  Spoon it into a sandwich baggie and clip the edge to use it like an icing bag (or you can just use an icing bag...lol).  Trace around the ghosts carefully and add the eyes and mouth.

My daughter thought it would be a good idea to toast the inside pieces  and then make a strawberry jam sandwich.  I poked holes for the eyes and mouth to let the jam show through.

Don't forget to add a rubber stamped tag for your breakfast buffet by using the stamp from the Bone Appetit stamp set from The Angel Company.  Dress up the tag by adding ghost cut-outs.  I used the Sizzix for mine, but you could also cut them by hand.

Rubber Stamped Halloween Cupcakes!


I'm so glad that TAC did not retire the Trick or Treaters Halloween set. It is one of my all time favorite Halloween rubber stamp sets! The stamp is featured in the Fall/Winter 2009 Inspiration Avenue catalogue.

My friends at Mrs. Mack's Bakery & Restaurant have this really cool printer that uses food coloring as ink and rice paper to print photos on cakes. I noticed some leftover rice paper and they gave it to me so I could take it home. I knew this set would make awesome cupcakes! I colored on the stamps with Food Safe (food coloring) markers and then lightly misted them with my ultra fine mist squirt bottle (like you would when you use the watercolor crayons) and then stamped the images directly onto the rice paper. I colored them in with the food safe markers.

OK...I know what you're thinking...."Didn't she use those rubber stamps to make the Sculpey clay pins?" Yes, I did. I recommend using a clean set that you've never used on anything else, but I cleaned my stamps well hopefully they're not toxic...lol
