My friend shares her birthday with Halloween, so I decided to carry on with that theme and make her a graveyard birthday cake.
I baked (I believe) a 10″ round x 2 and sandwiched them together using jam. I then iced them using regular chocolate frosting from a can on the top and orange around the sides. I purchased some Frankenstein/monsters/pumpkins that are always around at that time of year and some Milano cookies, to use as gravestones and wrote messages on them with edible paint/pen.
I then crumbled up a few Oreo cookies to make it look like dirt, that the monsters had disturbed. I bought a little haunted house from the local dollar shop that lit up. I also put some skeleton candies around the sides of the cake. And finally dressed a purple ribbon around it.
It was very easy to do, and searched the internet for different ideas and then added things to make it more suitable for my friend.
That is really nice
