HAPPY HALLOWEEN, my spooky party people.
The day has at last arrived, so clearly that means we had to do some supremely spooky baking to go along with it!
This time starring: ouija planchettes & crystal balls
You know when you’re obsessed with something, but would never actually do it? That’s how I feel about ouija boards. Obviously it’s not in a ‘wears lululemon every day yet never sets foot in a gym’ kind of way. More just like loving the look and all the old-world vibes, yet knowing it’s always best to simply NOT MESS WITH THE REALM.
With it being the end of October we’re still plowing through the 31 for 31 horror movie marathon. Which means hours of watching naive casts of characters make the absolute WORST decisions possible – including haphazardly messing with ouija boards.
((looking at you, showboating psychic Brock Davies))
But that aside, have you ever checked them out on Etsy?? Seriously, some of them are outright works of art. And because of that, I am all about having one as decor in the house! Especially considering the rich and crazy history of spirit boards in general, it always makes for a great conversation piece. But, whatever you do…
Hide. That. Planchette.
Because when your friends get drunk at 2AM on a Saturday and decide it’d be a ~super cool~ and ~~hilarious~~ thing to play with for the ‘Gram – you’re going to regret it. The realm doesn’t mess around (!!!)
So with all of that said, we wanted to honor the ouija with a kitschy twist. Which made cookies seem the perfect answer! And since we’re rolling with the theme of divination tools that some people swear by, whereas others laugh in the face of, crystal balls felt like a totally worthy (& uber chic) pairing, too.
Check it out!
We used our same basic, no-spread sugar cookie recipe from a few weeks back…
Only this time, with slightly more jazzed up icing.
Sorry trick-or-treaters, you won’t be getting any of these gems tonight.
But to everyone nonetheless, Happy Halloween!!
