Have you ever had that urge to start up a life of cannibalism, but you are too worried about what your friends and loved one would think of you? Well, neither have I. However, for those of you who ARE trying to slowly ease into that lifestyle, may I suggest - WHITE CHOCOLATE BABY HEADS!

That's right, life sized solid white chocolate baby heads.

The company, Conjurer's Kitchen, made this product as a private, but anonymous, commission. From the company, about their latest product: “A private commission (that’s all we can say), they are solid white chocolate baby heads, and the same size as the head of your average newborn baby. They also TERRIFY me! As I was tweeting earlier there is something SO disturbing about these heads but I just can’t put my finger on it. Maybe it’s as they have no body, or maybe it’s just as they are a baby’s head?!? Either way I am so proud to be heading up a movement which leads to the creation of amazing edible works of art just like these. We’ll be using them in a project very soon I am sure!!!”

Their Etsy store where you could buy the baby heads, if you would so wish, is provided here; according to the site, it is £35.00 ($57.73 for our American readers) per baby head. And if you start to crave more deliciously deviant treats, feel free to browse around the other products of her shop. Guaranteed that there is something to satisfy your twisted, culinary fantasies (not actually guaranteed, I made that up). Keep in mind that the other products may not be safe for work, nor would I recommend them for those of a squeamish countenance.

It's coming. . .

Costumes, Candy and Fun. Halloween is right around the corner!

Candy Corn

This is one of the first candies I associate with Trick or Treat. We used to get little decorated paper bags filled with it. Now it is pre- packaged in individual servings for safety. Here is a little wikihistory on candy corn.

Candy corn is a confection popular in the United States, particularly around Halloween. Created in the 1880s by George Renninger of the Wunderle Candy Company, the three colors of the candy are meant to mimic corn. Each piece is approximately the size of a whole kernel of corn, as if it fell off a ripe or dried ear of corn. The candy is usually tri-colored with a yellow base, orange center, and white tip, although the color combinations may vary. The yellow, broader part is the top, while the white point is the bottom. The most common alternative color scheme, called "Indian corn", is white, orange, and brown, and is sometimes associated with the Thanksgiving holiday.
The National Confectioners Association estimate 20 million pounds of candy corn are sold each year. October 30 is National Candy Corn Day. Although regular candy corn is most popular at Halloween, it is available year-round.
According to Brach's Confections, Inc., the top branded retailer of candy corn, each year Americans eat enough Brach's candy corn that if the kernels were laid end to end, they would circle the Earth 4.5 times.


Candy corn is made primarily from sugar, corn syrup and honey. Originally, candy corn was made by hand. Manufacturers first combined sugar, corn syrup, and water and cooked them into a slurry. Fondant was added for texture and marshmallows provided a soft bite. The final mixture was then heated and poured into shaped molds. Three passes were required during the pouring process, one for each colored section. Few changes were made to the process or recipe, and machines were quickly invented to perform the tasks formerly done by people.
