Halloween is coming! An eerie and at the same time fun holiday that children look forward to. A living fairy tale about a black hand in a black room, which is located in the farthest corner of a black house... If your apartment this time will be a haven for witches, ghouls and ghouls, it’s time to provide the appropriate surroundings and quietly retire to a calmer (or, conversely, more creepy?) place. And don't forget to prepare plenty of food for the little evil spirits!

There is no need to invent any special children's dishes for Halloween - appearance is important here. What scope for imagination - here you have cut off sausage fingers, and spaghetti worms, and creepy eyes made of eggs, and cakes in the form of coffins... Do not skimp on tomato blood, paint your usual dishes in creepy colors, just don’t overdo it - especially impressionable ones Children may then refuse pasta or sausage dishes for a long time.

Pinched Fingers Sandwiches

Ingredients:
6 sandwich buns,
6 sausages,
bright red ketchup, mayonnaise.

Preparation:
Cut the sausages in half and cut each half lengthwise. Fry in vegetable oil. Cut the buns in half lengthwise, put 4 “fingers” in each, pour ketchup on them and cover with the top half of the bun. Use mayonnaise to paint your nails. Place the buns on a baking sheet and place in a hot oven to warm up.

To prepare this delicacy you will need not only ingredients, but also carving skills. Using scissors, cut out bat wings from sheets of thin pita bread. In principle, you are not required to be particularly precise, but the wings should be recognizable. Dilute salt and your favorite spices to taste in olive oil, brush the wings with the aromatic mixture and place them on a baking sheet. Place it in a hot oven for 3-5 minutes, making sure that the wings do not burn, but remain rosy and crispy.

Salad in pita “Monster face”. Cut the pita buns in half crosswise. Place a leaf of lettuce into each bun, turning it outward - this will be the tongue of the future monster. Fill the pita with any salad, a little heaping. Sprinkle with grated hard cheese, place two halves of olives (eyes) and a triangle of sweet red or orange pepper (nose).

Ingredients:
12 sausages,
1 layer of ready-made puff pastry,
ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise.

Preparation:
Roll out the defrosted puff pastry into a thin layer and cut into strips. Swaddle each sausage like a mummy, making a thickening where the mummy's arms are hidden and leaving the "head" uncovered. Place in a hot oven for 12-15 minutes, baking until golden brown. On the free part of the sausage, draw eyes, nose and mouth with ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard.

Another delicious option for preparing children's dishes for Halloween. Grease lightly dried toast with butter and place a piece of ham. Make eyes from rings of olives or olives, and from thin semicircular strips of sweet pepper - a mouth open in a terrible scream. Cut thin slices of light-colored processed cheese into strips and place them, imitating bandages and partially covering the eyes and mouth.

Cutlets “Eyes of Dracula”

Ingredients:
400 g minced meat,
1 onion,
50 ml milk,
1 slice of stale wheat bread,
1 raw egg,
3 boiled eggs,
3 pitted olives
6 slices of light-colored processed cheese,
ketchup.

Preparation:
Mix the minced meat with chopped onion, bread soaked in milk and a raw egg. Salt and pepper. Roll 6 cutlets and place them in a pan greased with vegetable oil. Place to bake for 30-35 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the boiled eggs in half crosswise, and also cut the olives crosswise. Make a well in the top of the eggs and place the olive, cut side up. Add ketchup to the cut or place a piece of red bell pepper. Remove the cutlets from the oven, cover each with a slice of cheese and place the egg cut side down on top. Return pan to oven and bake until cheese is melted. Pour ketchup over the cheese, simulating bloody veins.

Ingredients:
1 package of ready-made puff pastry,
2 boiled chicken breasts,
1 stack grated hard cheese,
½ cup tomato sauce or ketchup,
1 stack boiled small horns,
olives, red bell pepper.

Preparation:
Cut circles the size of tea saucers from the puff pastry. Pour sauce or ketchup, add finely chopped chicken breast, sprinkle with cheese. Make “hair” from pasta, eyes from olive halves, and an open mouth from strips of red pepper. Pour ketchup, simulating bloody streaks, and place in a hot oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

"Tarantula Spider"

Ingredients:
1 kg of ready-made pizza dough,
1 egg,
1 olive
1 stack bright red ketchup,
½ cup grated hard cheese,
poppy - for rolling.

Preparation:
Divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll one part into a ball - the body of the spider. Divide the second part into 2 more parts and from one roll another ball - the head of a spider. Roll out 8 sausages from the remaining dough - these will be the legs of the spider. Roll the sausages in poppy seeds. Fold the spider, attaching the head and legs to the body, sprinkle with cheese. Cut the olive and make the eyes. Bake at 190ºC for 25-30 minutes. Place the finished spider on a flat dish, cut off the upper part of the body and remove the flesh. Pour ketchup into the resulting well. Tear off the spider's legs and dip them in the sauce.
The main dishes for children on Halloween are, of course, sweets. Prepare familiar cookies and cakes in an unusual form.

Ingredients:
3 stacks flour,
1 egg,
150 g butter,
5 tbsp. Sahara,
4 tbsp. milk,
almonds - for decoration.

Preparation:
Melt the butter, add sugar, milk and egg, beat with a mixer. Add flour in small portions while kneading the dough. Cut it into small pieces, roll it out into finger shapes and place it on a baking sheet. Place almonds on the tips of your “fingers”, unpeeled for extra spookiness, brush with yolk, sprinkle with powdered sugar and bake for 25 minutes at 180ºC.

Ingredients:
150 g butter,
75 g powdered sugar,
1 yolk,
225 g flour,
1 tbsp. cocoa,
a pinch of salt,
protein glaze - for decoration.

Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients for the dough and knead into a smooth, elastic dough. Do not add water or milk, even if the dough crumbles at first. Place the finished dough in a plastic bag and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Then roll out the dough into a layer 0.5 cm thick and cut out cookies in the form of figures of people and animals. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and place in an oven preheated to 200ºC for 10 minutes. On the cooled cookies, using a cornet with glaze, apply thin lines in the form of skeletal bones (rather conventionally, of course!).

Creepy bloody eyes on a plate. For sweet horror you will need small white marshmallows, pomegranate seeds and thick bright red syrup (or better yet, not hardened jelly, which can still be poured in a thin stream). Press a pomegranate seed into the center of each marshmallow and paint bloody streaks with syrup or jelly. Let dry before serving.

Ingredients:
2 stacks flour,
1 stack pumpkin puree,
2 tbsp. Sahara,
4 tsp baking powder,
1 tsp salt,
1 tsp cinnamon,
1 ½ cups milk,
4 eggs,
¼ cup melted butter,
raisins, chocolate pieces or dark berries - for decoration.

Preparation:
Combine dry ingredients. Mix milk, yolks and butter with pumpkin puree. Pour the resulting mixture into the flour and stir until smooth. Beat the whites until they form a stable foam and add to the dough, stirring gently so that they do not settle. In a wide frying pan, bake ghost-shaped pancakes, pouring the batter into shapeless clouds. While the pancakes are frying on the bottom, add 2 smaller berries, raisins or chocolate pieces and 1 larger piece, forming the eyes and mouth of the ghosts. Flip and finish cooking the pancakes as usual. The children will be delighted!

You will need large round chocolate chip cookies, chocolate waffle cones and chocolate ice cream for the filling. For decoration you will need colored dragee and green colored glaze. Fill waffle cones with heaping ice cream, attach to cookies to create pointy hats, and place on tray. Place in the freezer. Before serving, make a ribbon of icing by running a cornet along the junction of the waffle cone and the cookie, and strengthen one dragee.

Ice cream "Mold bricks". To prepare this dish, you will need ice cream on waffles or cookies, blue and green confectionery sprinkles or coconut flakes, protein or protein-cream cream and blue and green food coloring. Prepare the cream and color it with food coloring. The more sickening the color, the better. Cut the ice cream in half; if the briquettes are very large, quickly coat with cream and dip in the sprinkles (shavings). Place on a platter and place in the freezer.

Melt white (non-porous!) chocolate with a small amount of heavy cream in a water bath. When all the chocolate has melted, dip each strawberry, holding it by the stem, into the chocolate and quickly transfer to a tray lined with baking paper. As you place the berries on the sheet, pull them slightly so that the excess chocolate forms “ghost tails.” Before the chocolate hardens, stick in a couple of small brown sprinkles - these will be the ghost's eyes. Place in the refrigerator. Once the chocolate has set, dip a toothpick into the melted dark chocolate and draw an open mouth.

In order for you to get a great meringue, pay attention to the tips on our website. Having gained theoretical knowledge, start preparing a wonderful and not at all scary dessert for the kids. Take 50 g of powdered sugar for each protein. Add a little lemon juice or crystalline citric acid to the whites, mix and start beating, adding powder. Beat until “hard peaks” form, when the whites hold tightly to the whisk and do not fall off. Using a piping bag, pipe the meringues onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, deliberately pulling them up to create ghost heads (like in Disney cartoons). Stick raisin eyes into the meringue and bake in a not very hot oven for an hour and a half. Let cool in the oven and carefully remove from the sheet. You can use melted chocolate to add a mouth.

Ingredients:
2 packages of semi-finished jelly made from strawberries, raspberries or other bright red berries,
1 packet of chewing marmalade in the shape of worms,
blue or green food coloring,
deep plate with painted eyes and mouth.

Preparation:
Dilute the jelly according to the instructions on the package, reducing the amount of water by about a third. Pour out some of the jelly and color it with dye (the color will be simply disgusting). Pour the red jelly into a bowl and set in the refrigerator. Stir the jelly several times until its surface at least vaguely resembles the cerebral cortex. Stick gummy worms into the frozen jelly, melt the dye-colored jelly and pour disgusting streaks over the whole abomination. Brrr...

And, of course, you can’t do without the queen of the spooky ball - the pumpkin. For children, the best treat is real pumpkin pie. And if you decorate it with an ominous cobweb, it will also be a terribly delicious pie.

Ingredients:
300 g pumpkin,
100 g butter,
150 g sugar,
3 eggs,
1 lemon,
1 stack flour,
1 tsp soda
For decoration:
white and brown glaze.

Preparation:
Grate the raw peeled pumpkin on a medium grater. Remove the zest from the lemon using a fine grater and squeeze out the juice. Cream the butter and sugar until white, add the eggs and stir thoroughly. Add zest, pumpkin and lemon juice, stir and add flour and soda. Stir until smooth and place the dough in a greased pan. Place the pan in the oven, preheated to 180ºC, for 30-40 minutes. Pour the crust glaze over the cooled cake and let dry. Using a cornet, apply circles of white icing to the surface of the cake at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other. Then, using a thin wooden stick, draw radial stripes from the center to the edges, which will deform the circles. The web is ready! Get a toy or edible spider and place it on the pie.

Blue-green lemonade. You will need bright yellow lemonade, green and blue food coloring, and ice cubes. Pour lemonade into glasses, add ice and add a drop of blue and green dye. Using a thin stick, lightly stir the ice in the glasses, but do not stir so that the bright streaks of coloring spread inside.

Making kids' Halloween food is super easy and kids will love it! Bon appetit!

4.5 | Voted: 2

Very soon, Halloween is a bright and very fashionable holiday in recent years. If you decide to throw a Halloween party, you can't do without sweet treats. After all, a company of disguised, even very cute, mummies, witches and ghosts can become dangerous if they get hungry. That's why we've prepared the most interesting options for sweet treats for Halloween.

If you haven’t yet come up with a fun program for celebrating Halloween, use a simple and interesting scenario, it’s located here. Now, back to the sweet treats for the “scary” celebration. After all, according to tradition, on the evening before All Saints’ Day, children dressed as witches and ghosts can easily come to your home and say: “Sweets or we’ll scare you.”

The best way to serve dessert and candy at a Halloween celebration is at a candy bar. Essentially, this is a sweet table, which is decorated according to the theme of the event, read more. All the secrets on how to properly organize a candybar are collected in the article here. The main feature of the sweet Halloween design is the traditional black and orange color scheme, a lot of decor in the form of spiders and cobwebs, ghosts and various mystical entities. Although everything doesn’t have to be scary and terrible, decorations for cakes and gingerbread can be very cute and fully match the mood of the celebration.

So, sweet Halloween decorations can include any goodies.

Cupcakes

Kids love these little cream muffins, and the Halloween-themed treats are a must-have! Chocolate silhouettes of cats, large and small spiders, bats, skulls and skeletons are ideal for decoration.

Decorations in the form of pointed hats look very original! Undoubtedly, everyone who eats such a cake will have magical powers.

What do you think of this funny mummy?

Cake pops

Cakes on a stick are an unusual but very popular treat. Inside they are a delicate biscuit with filling, but on top they can be decorated in the most incredible way. It's Halloween after all!

White and black icing, a little imagination, and ordinary cake pops turn into the cutest ghosts.

Well, such funny colored faces will melt the heart of any monster.

Cookie

Decorating cookies for Halloween is a huge creative activity. Traditionally, delicious gingerbread cookies are decorated with colored icing, drawing cats, bats, pumpkins and ghosts. You can create entire masterpieces (although it is better to entrust this to professional confectioners).

It doesn't have to be complicated. Cute ghosts can be born in the kitchen of any housewife, for example, from ordinary oblong-shaped cookies (even store-bought ones), white icing and melted chocolate.

Bake any shortcrust pastry figures according to your favorite recipe and decorate them with glaze skeletons. You and your guests will love the result.

It’s great if children help create Halloween sweets, because it’s a fun creative process!

Cake

Cake is not required on the Halloween candy bar menu. But the Holiday Workshop couldn’t help but share with you a selection of ideas for its design.

The easiest way is to cover the cake with white cream and draw a spider web with chocolate. For added effect, you can add toy spiders.

A ghost cake is simple, delicious and on point.

But such a bright sweet will become a real decoration of a candy bar.

And how can you do without a pumpkin cake?

Fruits

You can brighten up the cakes and cookies on your holiday table with fruits decorated in the spirit of the holiday.

The easiest way is to use a large pumpkin instead of a fruit skewers stand. Draw a kind face on it - your guests will love it.

Fragrant tangerines can easily be turned into symbols of the holiday if you add a green root (for example, from marmalade), like a pumpkin.

Bright citrus fruits also do an excellent job playing the role of mummies. Use strips of white crepe paper or bandages to transform oranges into mystical characters. You can draw the eyes or buy them at a craft store (they have ready-made eyes for toys in different shapes and sizes).

Delicious sweet kebabs are made from kiwi, marshmallows and tangerines. Chocolate icing and inspiration will make them real “monsters”!

These are the treats you can offer to your Halloween party guests!

However, you need not only to prepare and decorate sweets, but also to select dishes, tablecloths and decor. This is one of the main rules of a candy bar! Here are some tips on how to decorate the sweet table and its details.

- Use black, orange and yellow colors.

— You can make your own containers for candy and other small Halloween treats. Take orange bowls or small buckets, black tape or dark paper and glue. Cut out funny faces and stick them on the dishes.

Such cute mummies will also effectively complement the table. To make them, you need to wrap jars, tall plastic containers, etc. with bandages. Eyes can be cut out of paper, drawn, or bought at a sewing accessories store. You can serve fruits, cookies, and sweets in “mummies.”

Another option for decorating ordinary jars for a “terrible” feast. Colored paper, beads for eyes, glue, ribbons, imagination and exclusive tableware for sweets are ready!

— To decorate the candy bar area, ghosts made of starched gauze, candles in candlesticks decorated with black lace, traditional pumpkins, and paper figures of mystical entities are suitable.

— Is it possible to let guests leave the holiday without small gifts? Prepare everyone with a little sweet surprise in a very original package... a regular latex glove. Fill it with any candies, but be sure to put 5 long bars (like fingers) and tie the makeshift bag with a ribbon. You can decorate your glove finger with a ring. Hang your “hands” near the candy bar, and after the holiday is over, let each guest take such a sweet gift.

I’m always happy to help in holding and organizing a holiday!

How to bake Witch's Fingers cookies:

1. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and flavorings (if you have almond essence, then you don’t need to add cinnamon and cardamom), mix everything. Add flour, baking powder and salt and stir until smooth.
2. If you want to make your fingers green, add a little green food coloring and mix the dough thoroughly. If the color is too pale, add more dye.
3. Cover the bowl with the dough with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 165°C. Take a quarter of the dough from the refrigerator and begin to shape the fingers. Focus on your little fingers. Place the finger blank on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Place an almond on the tip and press down well (you can take peeled or unpeeled almonds, as well as nut halves). If the almonds are too large, then your finger can be made thicker. Form a knuckle by squeezing the dough from the sides below and above the knuckle. Using a knife, make folds of the finger. Repeat the procedure to form the remaining fingers. Place your fingers on the baking sheet at a distance of 1-2 cm from each other.
5. Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden if your fingers are not green.
6. Cool the cookies and start decorating. There are several options here. First, you can lightly dust your white fingers with cocoa using a brush. This will make your fingers look more contrasty and dirty. Secondly, if the almonds separate from the dough, you can pull them out and pour red jam into the hole so that when the almonds are returned, “blood” oozes from the nail bed. If you can't get the almonds out, just pour a little jam around the nail. Thirdly, dip the “cut off” part of your fingers into the jam, and also stain your knuckles with jam.
7. You can serve the “Witch’s Fingers” cookies on their own, or you can suggest dipping them into a bowl of “bloody” jam. Bon appetit!

Sweet “Witches’ Brooms”

A witch can do without fingers, but not without a broom. Witches' brooms, in both sweet and savory forms, are a Halloween menu item. I suggest you make sweet and salty witches brooms.

Sweet “Witches’ Brooms”

The main ingredient of sweets are small candies - chocolate, fudge, toffee, jelly, etc. in the form of a truncated cone or hemisphere with a ribbed surface.

Ingredients:

• Salty straw
• Candies with ribbed surface

How to make the sweet “Witch’s Broom”:

2. If you are making brooms as gifts or for distributing Halloween candy, then you do not need to remove the wrapper from the candy first.

Dessert “Cemetery land”

A delicious and spooky dessert for Halloween. The recipe can be in several versions, choose the one that suits you best.

2. Melt the chocolate (dark or milk) in a water bath. Dip each date halfway into the liquid chocolate and place on a plate lined with parchment paper.
3. Place the dish with sweets in the refrigerator until the chocolate has completely hardened.
4. When serving, decorate the dish with chocolate cockroaches with plastic cockroach figures.

How to cook stuffed cockroaches:

1. Remove the pits from the dates.

If you wish, you can “marry” chocolate and stuffed cockroaches. Then you will succeed, as you understand, chocolate stuffed cockroaches .

Gift “Monster Hand”

If Halloween is just around the corner, and you have absolutely no time or desire to prepare treats, then I offer you a “quick fix” option - the “Monster’s Hand” gift. It's easy to do it yourself. In addition, you can choose your own filling for each person to whom you will give the “Hand”.

Halloween is an unusual holiday. Halloween treats are also unique. Recipes for “scary” and interesting dishes are presented in this article.

Halloween is the holiday of “all the dead.” It has very deep historical roots. Halloween has been celebrated since ancient times on the last day of October, namely 31st. This day is considered the last date for harvesting. It is believed that having finished its fertile season, the soil has strength and power.

It is on Halloween that the earth is able to “resurrect” dead ancestors buried in it. For that so that ghosts do not disturb the harmony of the world of the living, it was decided to scare them away in all sorts of ways. To do this, people dressed up in costumes and put on scary masks that looked like the faces of the dead.

Realizing that among them there were exactly the same creatures, the ghosts did not touch the living. They disappeared when the sun rose on the first of November.

The symbol of the holiday is pumpkin. This fruit is the last one in the entire harvest and therefore it has a lot of significance for the holiday. Pumpkin is the main decorative element of Halloween and its main ingredient of dishes. Treats can be literally prepared snacks from pumpkin, replicating its external characteristics.

How to make a cute "Ghost" for Halloween

Preparing shortbread dough. Grind fine sugar with softened creamy margarine, then add one raw yolk. In a separate bowl, mix wheat flour with ground cinnamon, combine dry and wet ingredients. Wrap the dough in cling film, put it in a cool place, after 10-15 minutes you can continue working with it.


While the dough is resting, cut out a cookie template from thick paper.


Divide the dough into 15 equal pieces, roll out the pieces to a thickness of 7 millimeters. Using a sharp knife, cut out the ghosts using a paper template.


Insert bamboo sticks into the raw dough. Bake the cookies on a dry baking sheet for 12 minutes. Temperature 165 degrees.


Prepare the sugar glaze. Grind two raw whites in a deep bowl, gradually adding powdered sugar to them. Mix a small amount of white icing with yellow food coloring. You will need this glaze to paint the eyes.

Place the icing in a plastic envelope or pastry bag. We completely paint over the ghost blanks with white glaze. The thickness of the layer is approximately 2-3 millimeters.


To give volume to the details of the ghost's clothing, we apply additional layers of white glaze, which are indicated on the template. We make each layer after 15-20 minutes, this time is needed for the previous layer to dry.


We draw the yellow eyes after the last layer of white icing has dried.


We wait 20 minutes, draw a mouth and eyes for all the ghosts with a black edible marker.
Slightly dry icing looks ready, but it's not! It is wet inside and you can very easily ruin all your work. Dry the cookies in a dry, ventilated place for 10-12 hours.


We tie bows to the finished cookies on a stick. Now you can invite your friends to a Halloween party.

Recipe No. 2. Halloween Scarecrow Cookies

Scarecrow cookies on a stick with sugar icing will decorate your Halloween table and scare away evil spirits from your home. The recipe is simple, but painstaking. You will need 20-30 minutes to bake the shortbread cookies, 10 minutes to mix the icing sugar, and about 1 hour to apply the design. After this, the Halloween cookies should be left in a dry place for the icing to dry completely for 10 hours.
To decorate the cookies you will need 12 wooden sticks.

Cooking time: 1 hour 50 minutes.
Quantity: 10-12 pieces.

Ingredients for shortcrust pastry:

• butter (margarine) – 90 g;
• flour – 165 g;
• sugar – 130 g;
• yolk – 1 pc.;
• cinnamon, vanillin.

• powdered sugar – 290 g;
• protein – 40 g;
• food paints.

A method for making original Scarecrow cookies for Halloween

Let's make the dough. Mix all the ingredients for the dough in a food processor. It is better to soften butter or margarine at room temperature first, as these cookies should not be too crumbly. From these ingredients you will get about 400 g of shortcrust pastry, this amount is enough to prepare 12-15 large cookies.


Cut out the scarecrow from thick paper (dimensions in centimeters).


Divide the dough into equal parts, roll it out (0.7-0.8 cm), cut out the scarecrow according to the sketch with a sharp knife.


Insert wooden skewers into the raw cookies. Bake for 11-13 minutes. Baking temperature 170 degrees.


Mix egg white, powdered sugar and food coloring into colored icing for painting. To paint the scarecrow you need green, orange and black paint.

On all blanks, we first mark the outline of the future drawing. Then use a brush to apply a thin layer of black glaze to the brim of the hat.


Mix thick light green icing, fill a pastry bag with it, and draw a dress for the scarecrow. You can draw a white pocket on the dress and color it with polka dots. If you don’t have a pastry bag with a nozzle, you can use a regular thick bag, the tip of which needs to be cut off. Each layer of glaze must dry naturally. A layer 3 millimeters thick dries in 15-20 minutes.


Using orange glaze we draw the pumpkin head and hands after the green paint has dried.


We wait another 15-20 minutes, draw a black hat.


Small and delicate details on cookies can be made by placing icing of any color in a pastry bag to which a cream tip with the thinnest hole (1-2 mm) is attached. Draw the eyes, mouth, thin threads on the dress and the scarecrow is ready.

How to Make Sugar Cookies for All Hallows' Eve

We make the dough, taking all the ingredients for it at room temperature. Grind sugar and margarine, add raw yolk. Combine flour mixed with ground cinnamon with the ground mass and knead the dough.


From thick paper we cut out a pumpkin according to the sketch. Dimensions are indicated in centimeters.


Place the dough in a cold place for 15-20 minutes, and then divide it into equal parts (about 10 pieces). Roll out the pieces thinly (0.6-0.7 cm), cut out pumpkins.

Place a silicone baking mat on a baking sheet. Carefully arrange the cookies, leaving small gaps between them. Temperature 165 degrees. Bake for 12 minutes. We transfer the drawing from the sketch to the finished blanks with a simple pencil.


Mix white sugar icing. Gradually add powdered sugar to the egg white, strained through a fine sieve. When the mass thickens enough, you can mix it with food coloring.


Apply a thin layer of black glaze randomly to the pumpkin blanks in the mouth area with a regular brush. Then we roll up a cornet from thick cellophane and fill it with orange glaze. We draw a pumpkin as shown in the photo.


Leave the cookies for 20 minutes in a dry and warm place, and then draw white teeth and eyes.


To draw a wicker hat, you need to make a cornet with a thin hole or use a pastry bag with a thin cream tip. Using light green glaze, draw thin vertical lines, and after 20 minutes, draw short horizontal stripes.


After the green icing has dried, draw a red bow. Leave the Pumpkin Jack Halloween cookies in a dry place for 10 hours for final drying.
