DIY Halloween Haunted House!

It's the most spooky time of the year, so partake in the scary fun of Halloween by hosting your own Halloween Haunted House. I for one am all about going ALL OUT, and what better way than turning your own house into a Haunted House?!

In one of my blog entries, "Props Till You Drop", I talked about how using props can really enhance a party and activate an important sense: sight. Thus, at your Halloween Haunted House props are a MUST. The best way to search for unique Halloween props is to try and locate props stores near your city or online.

Here are a few links to some Halloween prop sites I found courtesy of Bueno:

1) The Horror Dome

2) The Nightmare Factory

3) Haunted House Supplies

4) Find A Haunted House In Your Area

5) Haunted Ventures Special FX

6) Special FX Supplies


7) Fog Machines For Indoor and Outdoor

8) Buyout Costumes: Shop of Horrors

GHOULLLLLL LUCK ;-)

Party with a K at the PWOCN Event!

Sky is the limit. Sky Ultra Lounge in Bellevue, WA is the limit. Located in the Bellevue Galleria on the 3rd floor, this restaurant/lounge is the perfect venue to host a private event.Since this post this venue has been shut down - sorry!!

The ambiance is upscale, chic, and sophisticated and the staff there is more than accommodating. There at Sky Ultra Lounge they provide you with the tables and table cloths for your private event and they also have a great menu so you can serve your guests during your party.

I took Party with a K there today to be apart of the Professional Women of Color Network Mixer and the whole thing was a hit! See pictures below and don't forget to check out Sky Ultra Lounge when planning your next event!

Recipe of the Day: Brain Cupcakes

Need some "food for thought"? Brain cupcakes coming right up!

With Halloween around the corner, I am sure you are getting ready to bake some ghoulish treats, so this week I will feature some awesome recipes that you can make for your Halloween Party.

First up, Brain Cupcakes from Disney Family Fun!

Ingredients

-Cake Batter of your choice (for a dozen cupcakes)
-Food coloring: yellow, pink, and green
-Buttercream frosting

Baking Tools
-pastry bag (to fill the frosting with)
-#10 round tip (to place on the pastry bag)

Instructions

Step#1-Bake a batch of 1 dozen cupcakes; let cool.

Step#2-In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups of buttercream frosting with a couple drops of yellow and pink food coloring and a touch of green food coloring until you have a hue you like (light orange).

Step#3-Spread a coat of the now light orange icing onto the dozen cupcakes.

Step#4-Place remaining light orange icing into a pastry bag. Secure it with a #10 round tip to top it off.

Step#5-Using the now icing filled pastry bag, top the dozen cupcakes with fat zigzags. It works best to first pipe two zigzags down the middle and then fill in the sides.

Brain cupcakes COMPLETE!

Cake of the Day!

Fruit by the foot...and by the cake! Today's Cake of the Day comes from a random blog I came across. A little girl name Izabelle made this lovely piñata cake for a “Fiesta Fun” themed end of year school Carnival Cake Contest.

The cake was made with strips of Fruit By The Foot (fruit roll ups) cut up to look like paper mache!!

I am sure this cake was a hit!

Favorite Party Item: Personalized Rose Petals

Talk about a good use of Minor Details! One of my favorite party items comes from Factory Direct Craft.com. Confetti table scatters are a great way to dress up your table thus, the Petaloo Celebrate & Happy Birthday Pink & Purple Rose Confetti would be great additions to your party decor.

The rose petals are unique in the sense that the words "Celebrate" and "Happy Birthday" are printed on them. SO CUTE!

Party with a K now has a WEBSITE...check it out!
