Here are the cakes I made for a friend's Halloween party 2008. I thought these fall owls were a happy addition to the ghoulish scene. I got the idea from this food magazine:
The cover showed cupcakes, but I being a master of speed, preferred to do one big cake. The only round pan I had were my graduated Pyrex set, so I decided to split the batter and do a mama and baby. That gave me a little more chance to play with feathers. The grocery store I went to did not have LifeSavers (who doesn't carry LifeSavers?!?) for the eyes, so I substituted an apricot fruit leather, and just cut out circles. It was a bit of improvisation, but I was happy with the look in the end.What are your favorite Halloween party favors and decorations? How soon do you start your season?

I love your owl cakes, they are such a fun idea! And great improvising; they turned out really well!
ReplyDeleteThese are a hoot!! (No pun intended.) (Well, maybe just a little...)
ReplyDeleteI loved your comment on my blog about being able to eat, sleep and dream in my larder for a year! Come visit--you can eat and dream all you want, but I suggest sleeping in one of the spare beds and NOT on the kitchen or basement floor!!!
