With Halloween just around the corner it’s time to get busy and sort out what you’re going to do! Are you going to dress up with the kids and go trick or treating? Are you going to throw a Halloween party for your friends and family? Or are simply going to carve the best Jack O’Lantern of your life? Whatever you decide to do, make sure you include the use of a Chinese Lantern!

A Chinese Lantern (also known as Sky Lanterns and Wish Lanterns) are the perfect accompaniment to any Halloween idea. You can get Chinese Lanterns in orange now too so they will match the holiday perfectly. Chinese Lanterns look glorious when released en mass so why not get yourself ten or twenty lanterns and release them just as the sun goes down to welcome Halloween. If you use orange lanterns they will look like mini Jack O’Lanterns floating away into the sky!

It would be much easier to use orange Chinese Lanterns instead of going out and getting everything you need to actually carve a Jack O’Lantern out of a pumpkin. You can draw a face on an orange Chinese Lantern and use that as your Jack O’Lantern, only thing is, it will be sent up into the sky instead of being sat at your doorstep.

If you’re thinking of having a little Halloween party, the most delicious party treats to make are little mini Halloween cupcakes. You simply need 125g of butter, 3/4 of a cup of sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp of vanilla essence, 1 1/2 cups of flour and 1/2 cup of milk. Once you mix it all together just pop the mixture into cup cake papers and into the oven for 20 minutes. Ice with orange and black icing and you’re away! These cup cakes taste and look amazing, everyone at your party will be begging for more!
