    Halloween is such a fun time for kids, but it is also a fun holiday for adults. I have spent many Halloween weekends in Key West at Fantasy Fest...but unfortunately, I have no one to go with this year.

    Last year was a total trip, I went as Wonder Woman with one of my good friends - and I got my nose pierced! This year, I will be staying here in Miami and hopefully finding a fun party to go to...which this Halloween Spider Cake Recipe would be perfect for bringing along!
