Just a few ghostly good ideas to keep us all in the spirit! {wink}
As always, I hope your inspired!
A few years ago I made crashing witch cupcakes (just her legs and icing for her skirt) and this year I took it one step farther and made a crashing witch cake!
I used a Keebler sugar cone cut in half for the hat and skirt. The hat has a Keebler Grasshopper cookie as the base and then the bottom of the cone makes up the skirt. Just melt a bit of purple chocolate (available this time of year at craft stores and baking supply stores) and paint it on the hat with a kitchen basting brush, then add a few sprinkles before it dries. For the skirt, roll the edges in chocolate and add a few sprinkles.
For her hair, I cut open a green rainbow Twizzler and spread it out under the hat.
Her legs are orange candy sticks and her boots are Starburst. I just heated two squares for eight seconds each and molded them into the shape of high healed boots. Then I drew on the laces with a food marker.
By the way, the cake is just a flat iced buttercream cake from Kroger ($5.99 per layer) and the border is alternating orange and black sixlet candies. Super easy and no baking required! {wink}
As always, I hope your inspired!
I can’t tell you how often I’m the one saying “Trick or Treat” when we go out on Halloween. My kids often just turn on the shy smile and say nothing until the candy is in the bag and they joyfully scream “Thank You!” as they run away. I guess if I can only get them to say one or the other I would prefer they be polite. That said, I’m strongly considering making them carry my Halloween photo props (from our Trick or Treat collection) around with them!
It’s cute and it keeps me from having to “Trick or Treat” for them. {wink}
