Dracula's Denture Cookies

We're getting very excited about Halloween and all the things that come with it. Including lots of creative twists on your usual party snacks. After all, everything needs to fit the party theme right?

How awesome are these Dracula's Denture Cookies? Made by Christy over on the-girl-who-ate-everything.com, we're very impressed with how effectively she has turned some innocent cookies and angelic marshmallows into something so ghoulish!

Get the full recipe and tutorial to have a go recreating Dracula's Dentures yourself ready for your Halloween party at the end of the month. All this simple recipe requires is cookies, marshmallows, icing and almonds. But we think you could even turn these into a healthy Halloween treat, by substituting the cookies for apple slices and the icing for peanut butter. Healthy and tasty whist still equally spooky!

Rugby World Cup Biscuit Bakes

All set for an important weekend of rugby? Joining in with the spirit of the world cup, we've been on the hunt for some awesome Rugby World Cup treats that we could keep us going the the ups and downs of the weekend to come.

For all round biscuit inspiration, then we all know you need not look much further than www.biscuiteers.com. A world class biscuit bakery based in London were commissioned to create bespoke red and white rugby ball biscuits for the launch party of the world cup. Now that is some good piping!

Grab yourself a Rugby Ball Cookie cutter and attempt to create your own at home. Inspired by your home nation colours, or you could ice each biscuit with the name of a rugby fanatic you know as a surprise gift.

Or if you don't have a cookie cutter to hand, a simple rectangle could be turned into a colourful spread of world cup flags. Check out www.christinabartlett.com to get some top tips and see how she individually created a biscuit flag to represent every team in the 2015 world cup.

Will you be baking up some rugby inspired treats?

Autumn Party Inspiration

As we welcome in the start of October, we really are welcoming in the start of Autumn. When the leaves turn golden and crunch below your footsteps, and when the air turns crisp and chilly. It also signals the build up to two of our favourite times of the year - Halloween and.... *whispers* Christmas.

To celebrate this time of year and immerse ourselves in the changing of the seasons, we at Flingers have been getting inspired by lots of awesome Autumn party ideas. And it seems that no Autumnal themed party is complete with out an abundance of golden leaves. Hang them as bunting for a feature wall, attach to party bags, use as table centrepieces or even create leaf shaped biscuits for your guests.

Autumn lends itself well to decorating a party or event, with lots of small elements you can draw upon to convey the theme. Making it perfect for weddings too! We adore the name place cards with a sprig of fern - simple, yet modern and classy.

The other element of Autumn which cannot go unmentioned is pumpkins of course. There are a million ways to decorate pumpkins - remember pumpkin carving isn't just for Halloween!  Spray painting, découpage, stencilling and even screw drivers are tools for customising pumpkins to use as decoration features. But simply hollowing the very top of a pumpkin to hold a tea light candle is one of our favourites to discover this week. Perfect for lighting the hallway on a day-to-day basis as well as for a big party.

Will you be throwing a party themed around the new season?
