Posted on 21st October 2023

Need help preparing for Halloween? Let’s get you all set for a thriller night with these fabulous party essentials.

If you are hosting a spooky party this year, you might be looking for Halloween-themed kitchenware to either cook, bake or serve your guests some delicious treats.

We’ve gathered some of our favourite ideas with a spooky feel. Let’s explore our edit of Halloween kitchenware, shall we?

Halloween kitchenware for scary baking

Spooky baking is one of the best things about Halloween. We have previously done a Halloween-themed Bake Off in the office, and it was such good fun seeing what everyone came up with. Picture spider-topped muffins, pumpkin bread and skull-shaped cakes.

So we highly encourage getting creative with the help of baking moulds in all sorts of shapes and sizes. They will make your life much easier – simply pour your batter into a scary-shaped pan, and your sweet treats are done.

Spooky drinks

Fancy a drink? You can go for Halloween-themed drinks and cocktails – although personally, I am not brave enough to try a Zombie Brain shot – or you can serve classic drinks in spooky glasses.

Novelty shot glasses and tumblers or statement wine glasses that even Morticia Addams would approve of are ideal.

We will leave the dinner menu up to you, but we’ve got some elegant cutlery and crockery ideas to complete your Halloween tablescape. Luckily, artisan plates and dark cutlery are rising in popularity, so you can use your Halloween party as an excuse to get some new solutions for your dinnerware collection.

Pumpkin-themed solutions

For me, the best bit about Halloween is spotting pumpkins everywhere you look. So for a dinner party, soup is a brilliant idea as it can be prepared ahead of time and easily warmed up when your guests get to the party.

Pumpkin-themed kitchenware is also easy to find – you can bake savoury meals in pumpkin-shaped dishes, blend ingredients in vibrant orange blenders and then serve your treats in seasonal bowls.
