    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!

    I know that many people still like to print out recipes and keep them in a recipe binder, or simply have the printed recipe sitting in front of them when it comes time to cook! 

    Sometimes it is just easier to go off a recipe when it is printed right in front of you. Who wants to swipe their screen on their phone or tablet when their hands are greasy? So I love offering this option as well!
