geeky recipe and party ideas
I’m in love with these cookie cutters.
Leave a ransom note and a little treat for the victim at the same time! I’m thinking a note to Mr. Geek saying “Do the Dishes” may be in order. These would also be fun left on a friend’s doorstep with a cryptic message.
What would you spell out with these cookies?
Cookie Cutter set includes all 26 letters plus an ampersand and exclamation point. $17.99 at ThinkGeek.com.
Let’s face it, your home often feels like a circus. So why not decorate like one? Embrace the original definition of “geek” by hanging these vintage circus prints.

The couple decided to have a beach wedding.A beach wedding is an ideal way to enjoy a fun, easy & stress free wedding. Most beaches are blessed with stunning natural beauty that result in fantastic wedding pictures. A destination wedding at the beach is a great opportunity for your friends and family to enjoy a mini vacation during your wedding week. A destination wedding may reduce your list guest. Not only will this minimize overhead, most guests who decline will still send gifts! Many couples who tie the knot on the sand conveniently combine the wedding and the honeymoon. This is a wonderful cost saving option that may free up some money to put a down payment on a house or pay off some student loans. As per bride dream, the Myrtle Beach wedding officiant is the beautiful place to celebrate their wedding. The officiant had decorated the beach very beautifully to make the couple big day more rememberable.
This couple drew inspiration from Superman and Harley Quinn for their wedding, but in some unexpected (and very classy) ways.
The men are obviously decked out in Superman-inspired gear including personalised groomsmen watches, created by the groom himself.
The wedding colors of red, white, and black invoke the Harley Quinn theme, while the bride rocks a stunner of an engagement ring from Elegant Gems. She says: “My dress was not geek inspired per-say, as I wanted a traditional look, however my colors for the wedding were based on Harley Queen (red and black) and my bouquet was red flowers with white bounce pearls to represent the pompoms of Harley’s collar and hat. My garter was superman colored with a small S logo on the bow. My engagement ring itself is based on the Harley Quinn diamond pattern, red rubies for the main diamonds and black diamonds around the edge.” Come and enjoy the original barn to the homestead farm that has been converted into a modern event space nestled charmingly in the best smokey mountain wedding barn in 2020. The open air barn, the picturesque pond, and manicured fields are just part of what we have to offer here at The Enchanted Valley.
This shows that you can incorporate your passions into a wedding easily, and still have an event that won’t frighten the grandparents. Well done, Jessica and Jonathan!
(I seriously thought this pic was a rendition of them as action figures. They just look too perfect!)

Fall doesn’t start for me until I enjoy my first pumpkin beer. This year, I connected with Dikla from Have Growler, Will Travel, and we created our own pumpkin beer tasting event. Naturally, that meant I needed to create some pumpkin beer cupcakes. These cupcakes are moist, dense, extremely pumpkiny, and very easy to make. The recipe is based on one from Snappy Gourmet, with a few changes.
To add to the mustache excitement of the week, I present to you these mustache cookie cutters. How adorable!

Icing and sprinkles not enough for your baked goods? Chicken not looking shiny enough? Give some metallic, edible spray paint a try. The feat as possible with a small Mac700 air compressor.

Not in Germany? You can also order Kosher Chefmaster Edible Spray
These spray paints can be used to cover a full edible ensemble or can be used with stencils to add a fun decoration to whatever you’re making.

In honor of Movember, I made some mustache lollipops for the staff over at Bookr.
Movember is an annual challenge to men: Don’t shave during the month of November to raise money for prostate cancer and other male cancer initiatives. It makes for some very entertaining faces in the Seattle area, especially as the month draws to a close.
Can’t grow a stache? Make your own lollipops like I did with a mustache lollipop mold

EDIT: Some of the Bookr guys sent over shots of them modeling the mustaches. So cute!
Let’s face it: tomorrow you’re going to have a lot of candy to deal with. Whether you’re hoarding from the trick and treaters, you have left overs from a party, or you took advantage of the 1/2 price sales, you’re going to need to do something with all of it. So why not make it pretty? Put it out at your next party and people may not even know you’re serving them old candy.
I heard you liked chocolate, so I covered your chocolate bars with chocolate. Also, sprinkles make everything better.
Don’t stop at chocolate! Cover your fave fruity candies with candy melts
Peeps. Love ’em or hate ’em, if you put a stick in them and cover them with chocolate, they will get eaten.
Have a Happy Halloween, and enjoy all the candy, whether it’s dressed up or straight from the wrapper.
Geeky Hostess readers are amazing. Just check out these geeky pumpkins they’ve created:
Pacman pumpkin by Steve and Shannon (and the prompt for this post!)
Triforce pumpkin by Tom Nord
The Corinthian (from the Sandman series) by Emily Allen. “Though, lit up in the dark, it looks more like a troll face,” she says. Either way, it’s geeky and awesome!
The 10th Doctor pumpkin by Katie. If I had any artistic talent, I would try to make this myself.
It’s not too late to let them inspire your pumpkin designs! What are you planning to carve into your gourds this weekend?
