Happy Halloween!

Well, believe it or not we are heading into the Spook-tacular season of Halloween! I realize that the season is about costumes, candy, cake doughnuts and cider…but you know me, Dr. Dinnerware and I’m thinking about the coordinating dinnerware for this scary holiday!

While most of you are pondering the awesome Halloween parties you will be throwing or attending I’m thinking about the food that will be served and what it will be served on! In fact I came across the coolest recipe brownies a few years ago on Betty Crocker’s website. My kids and I had a blast making them and we actually won the cookie contest at a neighborhood party we attended! And aside from being fun to make and obviously well received by our friends, they were delicious…mmmmh!



Here is a link to this fresh and scrumptious brownie recipe!

Now to my favorite part…what to server your Halloween treats on! The above brownies are being served on a Waechtersbach (pronounced “Vecter-spock”) Kiwi plate. It’s a beautiful German dinnerware line that comes in a dizzying array of colors that can brighten any day. The nice part about using a Waechtersbach solid color serving piece is you can use it year round.

However, Waechtersbach also has serving pieces that absolutely scream Halloween! These items are great for serving fall favorites like cake doughnuts and warm cider, popcorn, cookies and candy. The big bowl is perfect to load with candy and use it to server all scary ghosts and goblins that show up at your door!



Whether you are a homebody and you are going to stay home answering the door and handing out candy or a social butterfly hopping from party to party in your awesome costume I hope your Halloween is filled with fun, laughter, food, decadent treats and of course dinnerware! Happy Halloween!

Remember, it’s not what you server, but what you serve it on…and anything can look marvelous if it’s on the right piece of dinnerware!

Catch you next time!
