The nastiest & coolest cakes I’ve ever had…

October 31, 2009 by DanicasDaily 13 Comments

Friday was such a FUN day at work.  We all revert to being kids again by dressing up, decorating our offices and hosting contests/prizes for the best dressed and decorated.  In the midst of all that, we managed to get some work done and then finish the day with a DESSERT LUCK.  The dessert luck is all about making your favorite spookie scary or fun Halloween treat.  It totally makes the day fly by and I LOVE it.  This year before our dessert luck, a group of my co-workers did a skit

“The Princess and The PASTA Shell”.  It was so HILARIOUS! 

Ok ~ I guess I should back track a little to the start of my day and work up to the desserts πŸ˜€  I had a breakfast repeat of Almond Butter Apricot Toast with creamy vanilla decaf Organic Fair Trade Coffee.  MMMM ~ even the skeleton hand (that MOVES) wanted some of it!

My Co-worker and I were chatting about FOOD ( a topic that seems to ALWAYS appear in my life πŸ™‚ and we both had one word come to mind ~ TACOS!!!  So, I traded in my leftover Smokey Black Bean Salsa Chili for this.

Chips & Salsa at TR2 ~ aka Taqueria Rosita 2.

We were chatting along when I looked up to see this FREAKY spider above me. – LOVE the light covers ~ hate the nasty spider.

I ordered two of my FAVORITE Chicken Tacos Mexican style (with cheese, hot sauce, cabbage and AVOCADO!!)  I added more salsa too – I LOVE these!

We worked a bit more before the festivities started.  Here a few highlights of the baked goods.  My co-worker made this NASTY Kitty Litter Cake!

Being the sick person I am, I HAD to try it.  I picked up the scooper and their was “POOH!” stuck on it.

But, that didn’t stop me from digging in.  I actually got in trouble for scooping the pooh from the middle of the cake versus cutting it – oops!

IMG_4113

My curly pooh was melted tootsie roll ~ genius!  It’s actually two cakes mixed with pudding and topped with crushed cookies.  I had a bite of each out of curiosity.  And NO, on any ordinary day I would NOT eat pooh if you asked me too for those wondering πŸ˜€

My other talented co-worker made this FANTASTIC Pumpkin Cake.  I totally think she deserves the best decorated cake award.

It was a Red VELVET cake made orange for Halloween ~ so creative!

Funky bloody eyeballs!

There was a ton of other stuff too but I wasn’t feeling desserts (shocker!).  I had one of my Carrot Pumpkin Cupcakes with Whipped Frosting and shared the bites of the other things with 2 of my co-workers.

When I got home, I had a super cool package waiting for me from Kristina!  We had agreed to do a goodie swap ~ I sent her TJ’s gooides and she sent me fun stuff from where she lives.  She put so much thought into everything and wrote the sweetest letter.  There is a bunch of organic stuff and all the bars have great stats too.  Thanks girlie – I LOVE it all and can’t wait to dig in.

IMG_4125

Oh wait ~ I DID dig into this Gorge Delights Just Fruit Bar.  100% DELICIOUS!  Do you all know if they sell these anywhere in California? I MUST find them!

IMG_4126

Fantastic stats ~ LOVE that it is just that – FRUIT only, nothing added.  It’s a BIG size bar too.

IMG_4127

The Husband had to work late so I lounged around and made myself scared by watching My Super Sweet Psycho 16.  I told him I wasn’t cooking tonight since I wasn’t hungry and would probably have cereal or a salad.  He decided to surprise me by bringing home Mary’s Pizza Shack! I had a small salad with their housemade Italian Dressing.

IMG_4132

Then, stole a little salad plates worth of his spaghetti with meatballs.  It was awesome!

I am off to the Farmer’s Market, then shopping and errands today.  I think we are staying low key tonight (avoiding our friends parties since we are not dressing up πŸ˜€ and staying in to watch scary movies and eat hand out candy and Annie’s Bunny Friends!

Happy Halloween!

      Julia ~ Yeah for heading to Napa – FUN! Do you know the parts you are going to? I LOVE Castle of Love (Castello de Amorosa) in St. Helena – it’s this HUGE castle that is fun to tour. LOVE V’Sattui Winery too. You really can’t go wrong because there are so many fun places you can visit as you go through. Fun food stops – Taylor’s Refresher or Buckhorn’s Grill. I could go on but email me if you want me to list more πŸ™‚
