Linderhof


Gardening, Cooking and Decorating on the Prairie of Kansas


Welcome to Linderhof, our 1920's home on the prairie, where there's usually something in the oven, flowers in the garden for tabletops and herbs in the garden for cooking. Where, when company comes, the teapot is always on and there are cookies and cakes to share in the larder.

The Ghosts and the Goblins and the Witches . . .


It's always fun to be given a Challenge
And it is fun being part of the Mystery Ingredient Club


And what a fun ingredient, it was!

To turn these . . .


My favorite and easy cupcakes


Into these!

But wait, there's more . . . 

Let no cupcake go undecorated!


For there is pumpkin witches
for the orange sprinkled ones and . . .


 For the green and orange and black sprinkled ones!

And . . .

More pumpkin witches for these --
my favorite
Electric green icing
and green and black sprinkles
Notice how the pumpkin's green eyes "pop"?

And what Halloween cupcake is complete without


A ghost
And bones?

See them --


Four little cupcakes all in a row
Ready to be devoured by ghosts and witches and goblins to be!

Four little cupcakes all in a row
Ready to be sent to grandgirl Lucy
(who at 3 months will not appreciate them as much as her Mom and Dad)
(Will her Mom remember the fun cupcakes of her childhood, I wonder?)

And the rest of the orange sprinkles?


Will go on shortbread pumpkin cutouts
Perfect for October and November
afternoon tea!


It's Friday --

What yummy cupcakes you've shared for the MIC, Martha. The shortbread would be scrumptious with a cup of tea, too.

Your cupcakes are so festive, Martha. Seeing how everyone has used their Creepy Sprinkles is so much fun. My grandchildren would make quick work of your cute little cakes.

The bone ones are the best! I too can't wait for the grandchildren to get older so they can appreciate all this stuff.
