PLEASE VOTE! Halloween Dessert Ideas

So my office is having a Halloween dessert competition/bake sale next week.  Apparently I've set the precedent that I am expected to make something awesome to compete.  Part of me is flattered...but most of me is anxious just thinking about it.

To minimize my stress, I'm thinking I'll want to make something I've made before.  I need some help deciding what would be best.  Here are my current thoughts.  Please respond in a comment to this post with your vote.

  1. Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting
  2. Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars with Gingersnap Crust
  3. Apple Cake (see post from last week)
  4. Something else entirely?
If your vote is for #4, please submit an idea...something I'll have time to try this weekend before the actual competition, since the very idea of baking something for other people to eat without testing it myself makes my stomach twist up into a giant knot.

Thanks!  I hope to get back to regular posting this week at some point.  I hardly cooked last week, since I was on travel for work for a few days.  And then I was just lazy.  And then my camera battery died when I was trying to photograph last night's dinner.  Oh well!  You folks don't care about sauteed chicken with mustard-cream sauce, do you?

And one more request...PLEASE VOTE!

  5. I think #1 is the best option. You can enter it in the "most sinful" category, because of the dark chocolate and cheescake--and you can do something with the icing decorations, too!
