How to Make A Spooky Halloween Cake
Halloween is the best time of year to pull out all the stops when it comes to cake decorating. Put on your creative cap and have fun with designs, colors and themes.
I love to make spooky and rather gory cakes for Halloween. The scarier the better in my eyes! You can make a cute and beautiful cake any day of the week but it's not every day that you can make a gooey brain cake with eyeballs popping out the side!
First things first, get some ideas rolling. How many people does your cake have to feed is a good one to start at. This will decide on how big you can go.
I always like to take a trip to my local grocery store and buy all the scariest Halloween candies I can find. There's always gummy worms, chocolate eyeballs, body parts, spiders, glow in the dark skeletons, the list goes on!
While you're there pick up a jar of red jelly or raspberry jam, this will come in handy for any edible blood you'll be needing. Also think of marshmallows, sprinkles and pretzel sticks. These always make great props and cupcake toppers. Now that you've got all your goodies in hand you can start making your spooky Halloween cake.
I think the most popular colors for Halloween are of course orange and black, deep purple and reds as well as browns and yellows. Stay away from any cheery pastel colors! You can always bring these colors out for Easter.
Do you want to make a sheet cake, a tiered cake or a 3D shaped cake? Here are some sheet cake ideas: Frankenstein and his wife, haunted house, pumpkin patch, ghosts and goblins. Here are some tiered cake ideas: Haunted graveyard with road going up, haunted house on top of hill, trick or treating, Here are some 3D cake ideas: Scary pumpkins, spooky skeletons, Frankenstein's head, hand coming out of grave and of course beattlejuice.

Remember when you're creating your scary Halloween Cake to go all out! Use whatever you can to make it spooky and spectacular. Use candies, jellies, gummy candies, chocolate and any other toppers you can find. Get creative with colors and textures by using household items you already have in your cupboard, and most of all just have fun with it!

Cool Halloween Costume Ideas For Teachers
Many schools incorporate special activities into the curriculum around the end of October to have fun with Halloween. Whether hallway costume parade, fall festival, or Halloween party, teachers should get in on the costume fun along with their students. But, sometimes coming up with a great costume idea that fits a teacher's budget, will be a hit with the students and won't interfere with working through the day can be a big challenge. Here are some cool Halloween costume ideas for teachers that score an A+.
Storybook Characters: A good portion of school is devoted to reading, so why not incorporate a book into your Halloween costume? Come dressed as a current day popular or long-time favorite storybook character and watch the children's faces light up in glee. Younger elementary children will love to see you dressed up as a character that's helping them learn to read such as the Cat and the Hat or one of the many beloved fairytale characters. Older kids will appreciate seeing you as a character from other favorite books such as Junie B. Jones, Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus or a professor from Harry Potter such as Dumbledore. Snape or Hagrid. In high school, bring literary legends, such as Shakespeare, to life by dressing up as a timeless character from one of the classics.
Science Stuff: Science class always makes a great venue for Halloween teacher costumes. Dress up as a mad scientist with wild hair and a lab coat, a planet from the solar system, a giant frog labeled for dissection or a life-sized skeleton. If you are really creative, a unique teacher costume for science class is to dress as a strand of DNA. Wear a black sweat suit that you have attached with a helix of DNA made from colorful pipe cleaners and fuzzy pom-poms.
Role Swapping: Turning the tables from teacher to student is always a fun joke. You can come dressed as the head cheerleader, football player, loveable computer nerd, or any other appropriate clique at your school. The kids will get a kick out of seeing you make a fool out of yourself and these costumes are easy to put together from your school's spirit shop or an online costume shop.
Remember that teacher costumes should always uphold the standards of being a role model for the children. Follow the rules and conduct for dressing that is expected by the school and never wear anything inappropriate. For example, sexy costumes or especially gory and scary costumes would not be appropriate for teacher costumes. A good rule of thumb is that if you have any question at all about the outfit's appropriateness, even the slightest of concerns, it is best left at home. Instead, opt for a Halloween costume that would be rated G by everyone.
