Halloween Theme Party

My sister and her friend dressed up for Halloween as Mario & Luigi and modeled my Halloween cupcakes before heading out for a little midnight fun! Then the girls came over to sample the goods and watch Alfred Hitchcock presents. We had a spooktacular time! The treats were super delicious:)
