HALLOWEEN THEMED CAKES!!!

As Halloween is coming up, what better than to turn on the gruesome cakes. Well these two below are quite harmless but ... what can you say? Me and my friends are having a Harry Potter Halloween themed bash so I have been put in charge of a Hogwarts Castle cake, spiderweb cupcakes, treacle tart and Butterbeer. Look out for me posting the Hogwarts Castle cake later in the month . But for now, use your favourite cake recipe or one from my other recipes and decorate in style!! Here are a couple of mine as examples.

Use different coloured piping and roll out icing to create your own Halloween cake
like this pumpkin one!

Colour your buttercream green, use strawberry lace spiderwebs,
use jelly sweets as spiders and pipe on the eyes and legs, or do jelly snakes escaping
 from a trap door - anything that captures your imagination really.



This was actually a birthday cake for a Harry Potter obsessed friend but Voldemort cakes
 are definitely scary enough for Halloween!! Use a basic cake and basic buttercream, pipe on a message
and if you are a bit of an artist use a food friendly paint brush to paint your image with
black food colouring onto edible wafer paper (available after much searching in Tesco cooking
section! Go Tesco ...) Use other coloured food colouring for details - like I used red for lips and eyes!
Harry Potter fan? Look out for my Hogwarts castle cake later in the month .... xxx
