Here’s a few inexpensive but ghoulish Halloween tips on how to give your party food a spooky theme.

• Cut out your cookie dough with Halloween themed cookie cutters.

• Decorate cupcakes and ice-cream with sugar sprinkles - like ghosts and pumpkins or maybe with orange and black colored sprinkles.

• Use cupcake paper liners with a scary design.

• Take a look at the wide range of spookily shaped molds available  - they’re perfect for making cupcakes, ice-cream, jello, ice and candy.

• Decorate your table with confetti cats, broomsticks and cauldrons.

• Use paper cups, plates and napkins with a Halloween pattern -  this is an eerie good idea.

And don’t forget at this time of year there’s lots of good quality but cheap Halloween candy and cakes in the shops - great for kids of all ages.
