I have been dating this guy for 3 weeks, I am 22 and he is 25. He asked me to carve pumpkins with his family next week and I would like to bring something for them all. I am a pretty good baker and always get comments on how good my cupcakes are, so was thinking about bringing Halloween themed cupcakes for everyone. It starts at 4 and his family seems to be very fun and laid back. Thoughts please?

I'd say holiday themes treats are a great idea. They aren't over the top and they fit well with what you are going to be doing with his family.

I think it sounds like a great idea! Who doesn't love a cupcake?

Sounds awesome! If there are younger kids in the house - anywhere from about 4 yrs to 16 or so - they may jump at the chance to help you bake the cupcakes. (Assuming it's practical to bring the dry and wet ingredients pre-mixed but separate, and the cupcake pan ready to go with papers, etc.) If you expect to be with this guy for a while there will probably come a time when it will be useful to have the younger brothers or sisters as friends.

 

If I recall correctly, my (now) wife and I gathered elderberries and baked a pie for her dad on the weekend of our 3rd date. The elderberry pie has been a minor tradition every few years for 40 years now.

Definitely cupcakes or cookies and maybe a bottle of wine for the mom (if that's her thing of course)!

Just make sure that nobody is allergic to anything you might put in the cakes ( nuts, wheat etc) and I'm sure they'll love it :)
