Simple to make and decorate Halloween cakes.
Ingredients
- 1 Batch favourite muffin or cup cake batter
- Icing (refer to note)
- Cup cake moulds (round or animal or people shaped)
- Piping bag with a thin nozzle
Directions
| 1. | Bake the muffins or cup cakes as per normal. |
| 2. | Once they have cooled they can be iced. For round cakes, create a spiders web effect by icing a series of circles with lines crossing between them. For people or animal shapes create lines to form skeletons over the bodies. |
Note
The cakes in the photo were made with a basic icing made using pure icing sugar and a bit of water. As you can see they were a bit runny (but suitable for the occasion). I've since tried something similar with Royal Icing and it worked much better.
You can make these cakes with any recipe that suits your dietary needs. If you need a recipe, here are some ideas:
- Vanilla Muffins
- Spelt Carrot Muffins (moderate salicylates) without the sprinkles
- Butterscotch Muffins
- Pear and Buttermilk Muffins
- Banana and Ricotta Muffins (amines) without the sprinkling of cocoa
- Pear and Quinoa Muffins without the topping
- Chocolate / Carob Zucchini Cake (chocolate = amines)
- Devil's Food Cup Cakes without the frosting
- Pear and Roast Carob Muffins
- Buckwheat Muffins
- Pumpkin Muffins (moderate salicylates)
