I made something from Pinterest! I knew when I pinned these cute little cheesecakes from my ‘sweets & treats’ board that I wanted to make them soon. Last Friday was my regular Bunco game. Halloween themed. Ever played bunco? It’s a simple dice game…I always say if it’s something I can do with a drink in one hand and while talking, it’s pretty simple…and it seems to be an Army wife staple. The best part is getting out of the house for a little while with adults (and especially when hubby has been gone for a while now). God Bless Bunco.
So, back on topic…little halloween cheesecakes. Super. Easy. And delish. Risa of Baked Perfection gives very simple, easy instructions on her blog post. I halved the recipe, made these the night before and left them in the fridge overnight. The next morning I had an idea in the shower. Don’t laugh…I seriously have 95% of my ‘good ideas’ in the shower. I think it’s because no one is calling me or hanging on me or whining to me or asking me questions. At least not that I can hear. God Bless Showers. Anyway, it came to me…cupcake rounds. I had baked the cheesecakes in cute black and white polka dot liners. {cause I have a polka dot thing} I didn’t want cupcake picks to stick in them. I wanted something simple but cute…knowing that, let’s be real here, any work I put into to these would soon find itself in the trash…I thought this idea would work. Now I’m not saying that I invented the cupcake round. I’m just saying I don’t think I’ve seen this anywhere else.
Back on topic again…sorry. So I drew some a spider and a ‘boo!’on my handy dandy Mac, encircled them (as to fit on the top of the cheesecakes), and made a few svg files. {svg files are cutting files…they can be used with a digital die cut machines like the Silhouette and its software} I cut the spider and boo circles in black at 2 inches and then cut slightly smaller yellow circles to lie underneath. I like them. They were different, easy, cute, and cheap…doesn’t that cover all my bases?
