Somehow this month has gotten away from me. With Hubs in Iraq, I've had somewhat of a bah humbugish attitude about Halloween this year. So here it is the day before Halloween and I've yet to bake anything remotely Halloweenie (ha Halloweenie now that's just asking for comments!) So since I didn't do any Halloween baking I thought I'd round-up a few of the coolest things I've seen out there in the blogshpere and share them with you.

These little meringue ghosts are from Dulcis in Furno's blog and are some of the most adorable ghosts I've ever seen! 

Meringue Ghosts

This cute and clever pumpkin cake come from Taste and Tell. It's decorated with Trix cereal!! How unique.

If your looking for something goulish this Halloween, these Lady's Finger's from Martha Stewart will fit the bill!

Spider Bites!

Or if creepy crawly things are what you want, check out these spiders by Bakerella.

There are so many more amazing, creepy, wonderful Halloween treats out there but these are a few of my favorites! I hope they inspire you to get baking this Halloween.
