I will admit that, although I admire the idea of that Halloween classic, the kitty litter cake, I'm not a fan. When I throw a Halloween party I put a lot of work into everything, including the food, and it would distress me that some folks would not want to partake of something that tasted good just because it looked gross. What a waste of time, food (and money) that would be.

My tastes incline to Halloween food that's spooky, but still looks edible. Also, Halloween sweets and Halloween savories that are elegant or have some charm to them, some eerie artistic quality. I've found that it's been a bit hard to track down the ideal Halloween menu, but here and there I've encountered really great ideas from very inventive people, and I'm happy to share them.
