Meanwhile, melt some DF chocolate chips and pipe antennes and legs on parchment paper, chill til harden in the fridge

Once buns and antennes are ready, roll flat a little caramel candy and cut into strips.

Attach these strips onto buns along with harden antennes and legs and your roaches are done!

This is such a incredible creation and soo Halloween 🤗👻🎃 I love the bloody hand and nuts how real it looks... Amazing cake my friend.
Thank you for sharing. Much love 🤗❤️🤗

thank you Sara <3

this is going to be a hard one to beat! yummy yummy cockroaches!!

cant lose w/ Kahlua LOL

I had a hard time posting it. it was published in two languages, side by side as i always do.

on esteem preview all looked perfect, but once published it was very messy on steemit, pictures didnt even show for some reason. had to edit via esteem bazillion times, scrolling up and down checking which codes were wrong and whatnot. still didnt want to be fixed.

had to make a new posting on steemit in the end, but then i edited both, and just used esteem for English while the one on steemit on Indonesian. soooo stressful earlier.

guess them cockroaches put a spell on my account hahahah

LOL

I guess esteem is a newer dapp? gotta work out those bugs...or cockroaches ;>

not sure!

i started using in 2017, but only twice, it was only on mobile phone and i did not like it

fast forward to a couple of months ago, they released desktop version, and i tried. pretty happy for a few times, then problem occurred. it would look nice on their preview, but on steemit was a mess. i stopped using until i saw a new update. updated, it worked, and now it happened again, okayed over there, but not on steemit.

le sigh

lol

YES, true dat! hahaha

And have you tried Steemify the app

isnt that an app of notifications? not exactly a mirror of Steemit?

YES its an app Made by @blockbrothers its great to keep track

yes i do know its an app, but its not for blogging, its just for notifications, right?

esteem is similar to busy and steemit

Thanks for using eSteem!
