    Expert Tips for a Beautiful Spread

    Tip #1: Display your treats at different heights to create visual interest. You can use satay sticks to hold up the marshmallows as well as cake stands or a tiered tray to raise things up. To make it extra spooky, use marshmallows to create spider webs to drape over the treats as a finishing touch!

    Tip #2: If you don't have much time, serve a range of no bake desserts. (Click here for over 20 best No-Bake Halloween Sweet & Savory Treats!) Oreo cookies, marshmallows, pretzels, rice krispies and big googly eyes are a great starting ground for making these easy Halloween desserts!

    Tip #3: If hosting new guests, use place cards to identify each treat, as well as the allergens it contains.

    Hi I'm Zhen also known as GGG! I couldn't boil water till I was 18! However, I love creating community and nurturing people, so when I lived abroad (in St. Andrews then London) for 11 years, I started hosting regular parties for friends, and that's how I started cooking and helping out in professional kitchens. (Couldn't cook before that!) I even organised a supper club for charity (which strangers came to!) Learning to cook late, I make sure my recipes go into enough detail for those new to Asian cuisine or who love a test kitchen approach to cooking!
