I am also wondering if our current generation of aussie kids will grow up feeling Halloween is part of their tradition and hve a very different attitude to it than my generation.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-38726052366322452472016-11-10T10:29:55.967+11:002016-11-10T10:29:55.967+11:00Thanks VegHog - blogging has a way of drawing me i...Thanks VegHog - blogging has a way of drawing me in to the cute food even when not my tradition!

To be honest, I never thought of it this way - but you have a very valid point. <br />I think for me (and many Canadians and Americans), it's just something we grew up with, so it's natural for us to enjoy the holiday without giving much thought to it's meaning. I don't appreciate the commercial part that has really taken over in recent years.<br />Aside from that, I do really like your halloween themed treats - they are quite cute and turned out well. I had thought of making something like this for Halloween, but was fairly certain they wouldn't turn out as cute looking as yours did ;)<br />Thanks for sharing at HVF - I'm pinning & sharing!Kimmytheveganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16802320305804211341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-91079870573971961822016-11-07T03:57:46.156+11:002016-11-07T03:57:46.156+11:00These tarts are so cute.

It is not my tradition too but sadly we are being bombarded with it from every direction. I adore the mummified pizza's , but still remember your spider one from last year too.
