Halloween – the holiday that transforms a regular little girl into a wicked, terrifying witch or a groovy hippie (or a Spice Girl?!?)

I have lots of Trick Or Treating stories – like the time I fell and ripped my pants or when I got the best treat ever – an Oatmeal Creme Pie!!

But today let’s talk about one of my more creative costumes.

Most Octobers, my family goes to DC for the Marine Corps Marathon and it usually falls right near Halloween. One year, I wanted to be super cool and wear this rad costume.

I really don’t know what I was supposed to be.

Here are the components of the ensemble: a long black dress (complete with velvet trim and a rhinestone buckle,) heavy makeup, and an elaborate hair-do consisting of lots of plastic spiders.

One problem – it was nearly 80 degrees that day (if memory serves me right – so probably not the best costume for cheering on runners.)

Regardless, I thought I was the coolest thing to hit the streets of DC.

I made sure to refuel after all that cheering (because that uses lots of energy – right?!?!) with gelato from the National Gallery of Art, Pumpkin Spice Malt Balls from Dean and Deluca and a Pumpkin Spice Cupcake from Georgetown Cupcake πŸ˜‰

This year I’ll settle with dressing up as The Emotional Baker for Halloween (the opposite of an elaborate costume) and have multiple slices of this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake.

This cake is moist and flecked with chocolate throughout. I think it would make a great treat anytime – it could even make an appearance at your Thanksgiving dessert table!

Hope you all have a sweet filled Halloween! Any special costumes planned (or favorites from the past?)

  3. Isn’t it fun to think back to your Halloween costumes? When I was nine or ten years old, I was the Little Mermaid…kind of embarassing because I wore a tan sports bra with purple shells AHHHH! πŸ™‚ Bundt cakes are my favorite kind to make, and with pumpkin involved, I bet it’s SO good! Love the addition of chocolate chips, too. My kind of dessert!

  4. Haha…that costume sounds hilarious! I do enjoy dressing up for Halloween, but I’ve kinda fallen out of the habit the past couple of years. I need to get back into it for sure! Robbie is a dog this year. Oh, and before I forget, amazing bundt cake! The pumpkin + chocolate combo is making my mouth water. Forget Halloween candy…I want a nice, big slice of this one! πŸ™‚ Or I might settle for an Oatmeal Creme Pie. Because it’s an Oatmeal Creme Pie. Haha!

  10. This cake sounds so delicious! I’m such a sucker for pumpkin + chocolate and am in full-blown pumpkin baking mode these days… I just made pumpkin banana muffins yesterday actually! I’ll definitely be trying out this bundt cake soon.

  17. I don’t run unless I’m being chased, or if there is a mega sale on ice cream/chocolate. πŸ™‚ Your bundt cake is fantastic – I’d be happy to eat this all by myself! Maybe I should dress up as a bundt cake for Halloween next year. πŸ™‚

  22. This was the first year nobody forced me to dress up and I was SOO happy about it!! I went to a 20s party and wore a fun sequin dress and fun jewelry. Done! This cake looks so fabulous, but I’ll be honest, I probably would have eaten half of that batter out of the bowl with a spoon πŸ™‚

    • Oooh – I’d love to eat the batter, too! But if I did that, I wouldn’t get to fully enjoy the final product πŸ˜‰ (I’d give myself a tummy ache πŸ™ ) Thanks Sues!!
