I love Halloween! This is partly because my birthday is October 27th but that’s not the only reason. Everything about dressing in costumes, getting free candy, and scary movies suits who I am at my core.

It’s no surprise that I take that same stance with the food. A friend once threw me a birthday party and my cake had tombstones on it with my name and current year as the date of death on it. I loved it!

That’s not something other people would appreciate. Can you imagine celebrating your mom’s birthday in June with a graveyard cake? I doubt it. It works for October, though.

Mummies, bones, and monsters are all fair game in the food department this season. You’ll find all of those and more in the spooky fun Halloween party food ideas below.
