Last week we shared some Party Inspiration for decorating a Pink Halloween Party (aka Pink-O-Ween) in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness. After receiving several emails from Breast Cancer Survivors we knew we wanted to add even more ideas to help pinkify their celebrations. So today we’re featuring a party styled by Debbie of Punkie Pie’s Place that is filled with fabulous dessert ideas.
Some of our favorite ideas from Debbie’s Pink Halloween Prty:
– Graveyard Pudding
– Hand sewn pink, white, and black , favor bags
– Finger sandwiches on pink bread
– Decorate your own pink pumpkin rice krispy treat activity

On Debbie’s blog, Punkie Pie’s Place, she outlined the details of her fabulous Pink-O-Ween party:
Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love to decorate this time of year with all the great fall colors, orange, yellow, black, red, brown…and pink! Yes pink!!! This year we took the plunge and went for a pink and black Halloween party theme. Thanks to Anders Ruff, my daughter and I were completely inspired to have a Pink-O-Ween party to celebrate Halloween along with celebrating her 11th birthday. I purchased a personalized Pink-0-Ween party invitation and printable Pink-O-Ween Halloween design collection from Anders Ruff. I can’t say enough nice things about the invitation and printable design collection … and so friendly to work with.
I printed the invitations on white card stock and assembled the party invitations by attaching them to pink & black card stock. I found some really cool black card stock that felt like leather…the girls loved their invitations!
Desserts Served Were:
– Individual RIP Graveyard Dirt Cake Cups (recipe here on Punkie Pie’s Place)
– For a little splash of pink I used Pepperidge Farm’s Strawberry Chocolate Milano cookies and garnished with neon pink sugar sprinkles.
– Creepy Cookies: I made little mice cookies (actually they were more like a truffle) and scattered them around the cookie serving platters amongst little pink-o-ween boxes that were filled with strawberry and chocolate wafer cookies. I have to say the little mice were quite tasty!
– Grape Jello molded into a Brain
– Finger Sandwiches: PB&J on homemade Pink Bread..yep…pink bread
Easy to do by just adding a few drops of neon pink food coloring (or even some beet juice) to your favorite homemade white bread recipe. If you don’t want to make your own bread, purchase bread dough and kneed some food coloring into your dough before rising and baking.
– Boo Pops: Tooties pop lolipops wrapped in pink and black fabric and tied with some ribbon…the girls gobbled these up in no time. For the props I wrapped foam blocks in foil and the covered them in pink and black tulle. Great little props for treats, pops and lollies
My mom found an adorable “Queen of Halloween” wooden hat decoration which made a great table decoration. I think we’ll be using this for many years.
My all time passion is sewing and creating with fabric so I had to sew something but wanted something quick and cute. So for each of our guests, I made white, pink and black Candy Corn Shaped Goodie Bags using crushed velvet and added some ribbon for the pull ties. I filled each bag with pink nail polish, pink nerds, pink & black bubble tape gum, and playdough. My daughter made thank you name tags for each goodie bag from the printable Pink-O-Ween design collection.
For an activity we decorated pink pumpkin rice krispie treats. This was a 4 hour party so it was a must to keep these girls busy. I made the pink pumpkin shaped rice krispie treats and had the girls decorate them with frosting and sprinkles.
