I can't believe it's Halloween. 31 days of vegan MoFo
check, treats for Halloween
check, discovering new blogs
check, finding new friends in the blogosphere
check, and doing a food swap
check. What a fun ride this has been.
When I signed up for my third vegan mofo I didn't know if I would be able to post often enough let alone every day. As many of you have know from my earlier posts work has been crazy this month. I managed to post everyday. Do you hear the theme from Rocky going off now?
I was trying to figure out what to make today and came across some vegan halloween treats that left me inspired. Wing-It Vegan did some great halloween posts for a previous Vegan Mofo and I loved the look of her
pumpkin shaped shortbread cookies. I made the chocolate shortbread cookies from
Wing-It Vegan and used the
icing from Chef Chloe as some of my friends don't care for pumpkin. As this recipe didn't make a lot of cookies I didn't try any so I just gave one to my co-worker and
forced asked him to try it. Here is what he thinks: the cookie has a nice crunch, he enjoys it with the frosting and felt on it's own it might be a little dry. Sounds like these are a great "sandwich" type cookie. He did enjoy it and ate the entire cookie! YIPPEE! Another vegan baking win.
I was also inspired by this
Coffin Cake. I wasn't sure I had a steady enough hand to shape the cake but I found some tiny coffin molds and decided to try them out.

Nightmare before Christmas coffin Cake?? |
I used Chef Chloe's
recipes for the chocolate cake and icing. I made the
cake last year and knew I liked it. Some of the coffins broke coming out of the mold. I figure by next year I'll have this down.
These are a big hit. Sadly the photos aren't that great but I think you get the idea.
What kind of treats are you making for Halloween? It's been a great month! Happy last day of MoFo!
Alas, I'm not making anything over here - just enjoying everyone else's fabulous posts! Coffin cake? Yes please!

ReplyDeleteI made sandwiches on brain bread. Coffin cake moulds, amazing, you guys really do Halloween well.
ReplyDeleteOh man, why didn't I get coffin molds for Halloween? Day of the dead even passed. Great idea! Congrats on posting everyday for MoFo! Quite a feat! Rocky and Chariots of Fire are now jumbled in my head.
