Ever wondered why someone’s appetite varies? Tableware colours could be a surprising reason!

Research indicates that human visual senses are most informative, with colour playing a pivotal role in inducing sensory stimulation. According to Bo (2018), tableware colours can shape your perception of food via visual stimulation, indirectly influencing your dining mood.

Nordic Ware Ghostly Cakelet Pans

Serve your guests frightfully delicious desserts with the Nordic Ware Skulls and Tombstones Cakelet Pans! These supernaturally durable cakelet pans are made of rust and warp-resistant cast aluminium. Their uncanny nonstick interiors guarantee the skulls pop out of their moulds like zombies out of the tombstones, with their creepy features intact. The eerily heat-reflective interior keeps the baking even, inside and around the skulls. When you are done, it is downright unnerving how easily the pan cleans up with handwashing in soapy water. You can also use these versatile pans as moulds to create spooky ice-cubes; wriggly undead jellos; ghoulish no-bake cookie treats; oozing lava cakes; or chocolate candies.

Jack-O’-Lantern

Eager to impress your friends and family with some authentic Halloween spirit? Making a pumpkin lantern is a fantastic way to get into the spooky groove!

To carve a pumpkin, start by using a straight-edged paring knife to carefully cut out the top around the stem, creating a lid. Next, scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp from the interior using an ice cream scoop, leaving a clean cavity.

Then carve your desired design or face onto the pumpkin’s surface. If you’re looking to create intricate details, a serrated paring knife can come in handy. Finally, place a candle or LED light inside, replace the lid, and watch your spooky creation come to life!
