Trick Or Treat

Halloween will be tomorrow, so sad that Halloween is not that popular in Lithuania. Halloween is celebrated only among friends. People not hanging decorations on their homes, unless someone is decorating with pumking and that's all. When I was little I always watched American movies and I was admiring Halloween traditions. My plan for this feast is to watch horror movies in a dark room with lighted candles and how without a cupcakes. This is my lovely Halloween cupcakes recipe. I feel that I said 'Halloween' too many times.
