Happy Halloween?

Some of us celebrated Halloween a week LATE because a certain sister (Diane) was sick. The cake was already made of course, hanging out in the freezer, so I just decorated it this past weekend for when we went over to Diane's house to celebrate. It was a wonderful evening. We ate chips, delicious guacamole, and CAKE! We also watched one of my favorite movies: CLUE! So here's the very traditional-looking jack-o-lantern cake that I made:


I should've taken a picture of the middle too after we cut into it, but of course didn't think about bringing my camera. It was a marble cake, and I died the white cake part of it orange. I also added chocolate chips because it didn't look chocolatey enough. It was good! Now I have to wait another year before using that cake pan again. Oh well.

what frosting did you use for the orange?? It's so smooth!

It was a combination of plain butter cream and cream cheese frosting. I had left-overs of both so I just mixed them together! It was a little too sweet for me, which is SHOCKING, but yeah, I guess the consistency came out pretty good for spreading. Of course I used our Cake Decorating class method with the hot water and spatula to really smooth it over well.
