Boo! Buns and a Rant!

The cooking bug got me last week and I decided to make sure we had a supply of Boo! Buns in for the little darlings should they come a-Trick or Treating. Any excuse to make sure there are sweet things in the house to mark the turning of the year...!

Boo buns!

Erupting Pustules

 The Boo! Buns were made in conventional  bun cases, and the Erupting Pustules (I consider that if the Ancestors come visiting they may not look pretty any more...) in bargain priced bat print cake cases from Morrisons. These were of the size that seems to be so popular these days, ie enormous! 
For heaven's sake people, if you're into dainty old-fashioned tea parties, could you really see Jane Austen or our own dear Queen (God bless 'er!) getting her gnashers round one of these vast American-style monsters? No, she would nibble on a proper English fairy cake baked in a bun case, not a juggernaut of a muffin!  Also, from the point of view of tea-time etiquette, you can conceivably get away with having two (or three!) small buns in different delicious flavours, whereas you'd look a complete gannet if you scoffed more than one Monster Muffin!  Ipso Fatso!
