Halloween is on the Way: The Freaky Eyeball Cupcakes Review

Today I’m going to be taking a look at some Freaky Eyeball Cupcakes, that I purchased from UK supermarket chain Morrisons. I’ll start by saying that visually, these are incredible.

Smashing Pumpkins: A Closer Look at Some Very Cool Carving

Something that has become increasingly clear to me in recent years is that England doesn’t embrace Halloween nearly as much as our friends on the other side of the Atlantic.
