Graveyard Cake
Ingredients
1 (18 1/4 oz.) package Devil's Food Cake
Mix
9 x 12 inch Baking Pan
10 ozs. Chocolate Filled Cookies
(Oreos), crushed or Gingersnaps
6-10 Oval shaped Butter Cookies
(Pepperidge Farm Milanos)
1 can prepared Vanilla Frosting
Assorted tubes of Cake Decorating
Gel in Halloween colors
(orange, yellow, brown,
etc.)
1 cup Candy Corn or Pumpkin Shaped Candies
1/4 cup Colored Sprinkles
or Colored Crystal Sugar in harvest colors
(orange, yellow, brown,
etc.)
Ghost shaped marshmallows (Halloween version of Easter
peeps)
Method:
Bake cake according to package
directions or recipe. Let cool completely.
Spread frosting evenly
over finished cake.
Using gel frostings, write silly spooky sayings on
the top half of the Milano cookies such as "RIP", "BOO", "B.A. Ghoul", "M.T.
Tomb", "Justin Time", and "Yul B. Next".
Press the cookies halfway
down into the cake here and there to resemble standing
tombstones.
Arrange the ghost marshmallows and candies around the
tombstones.
Top with colored sprinkles or sugars.
Serves
8-12.
Options:
You can use
other cake flavors, if you pair them with a complementary cookie topping. For example,
if you use a pumpkin flavored cake, you might want to use vanilla frosting and
crushed gingersnaps.
If you can't find marshmallow ghosts with the Halloween
candy in your local store, you could use dollops of whipped cream instead.
Remember they should be piped on just before serving, or keep the cake
chilled to prevent the ghosts from sagging.
Add a couple
of mini chocolate chip eyes to each whipped cream
ghost.
Variation:
Make individual ghost or
tombstone cupcakes.
