A 7th birthday party the night before Halloween calls for only one thing... A spooky cake!
So I baked up a delicious jaffa cake (Chocolate and Orange) in sandwich pans. Using Marshmallow Fluff I mixed in icing sugar and green colouring and used the marshmallow as the cake filling. I frosted the outside of the cake in an Orange Buttercream.
My inspiration for the design came from the ‘Limited Edition’ Vanilla Ice Cream Flavour Oreos that I found by chance... So I used spooky black Candy Melts and dipped each of the Oreos into the candy and then stuck on edible eyes.
I stuck the spiders around the sides, then piped on the legs and webs to hang them by. I topped off the Spookiness with a big black Bat Cookie covered in edible black glitter and a birthday message.
Thank you Duncan Hines for your Devils Food Cake... I gave you one last shot and this time you didn’t taste like chemicals (as past 2 have), I recommend if you have to bake a few days out, to use a packets because the preservatives keeps the cake fresh and moist, freshly made cakes are best but if time doesn’t permit, no one minds a packet cake when you make up for it in style!
Yummmmm!
Yumo Traci!
