BLEEDING HEART HALLOWEEN CAKE

Halloween is now known all over the world.  This certainly was not the case before internet.  Last night, we were at a show where people around the world were sharing their stories their first introduction to Halloween.  I would like to share one of the stories I heard.  It was similar to my very first Halloween in Canada.  This is how the story goes...Mom and dad come home from work tired.  As they were getting ready for dinner when the door bell rings.  They open the door to find a bunch of kids with expecting faces.  One of the accompanying parents explains what is going on.  The mom rummages through the kitchen cupboards and finds some candy.  Of course, their kids get very excited about this idea of "Trick or Treat".  Dad runs to a corner store to buy candy and while the mom tries to make up a costume from the dad's closet.  Kids are handed a small paperbag for their collection.  Reason being the mom doesn't want the kids to appear greedy.  Their very first stop is the next door neighbour.  Of course the small bag gets half filled at their first stop.  The neighbour suggests pillow cases.  Kids go back to the house but can't convince the mom to give them pillow cases so they settle with a shopping bag.  This marks their very first Halloween memory... Happy Halloween.
