2.Black sesame cupcakes
Black and orange are the official colours of halloween so why not impress your guests with these pitch black cupcakes topped with orange icing? You can even skip the artificial food dyes and use red-orange goji berries to achieve naturally coloured frosting. What more excuse do you need? Find the recipe here: Black sesame cupcakes
3.Blood orange punch
Nothing says spooky more than a big bowl of bloody punch greeting your guests on their arrival. The deep red colour from the blood oranges turns a regular punch into a ghoulish beverage and because it uses tea as its base this punch has a much lower sugar content than other soft drink based punches. This punch is light, bright and sparkly with a glorious sweet-tart flavour and subtle floral undertones. Make sure to let the tea bags steep in the hot water for the best flavour. You can find the recipe here: Blood orange punch
