Halloween Treats

I'm a little late in posting I know but here goes.

Halloween is the time of year my boys get to enjoy the gore that goes with it. It's a boy thing I guess. Even though we bake and craft many Halloween goodies, the dress up and venture out for trick or treat is what goes down best. Especially seeing all the other little monsters come out to play. 

The cake we baked had to be chocolate of course. My little boy opt for a Jack-o-lantern. I like that jack-o-lanterns don't have to be scary. Butter cream icing is always a hit in this house so as usual I went with the obvious. Simple shaping of the cake and a layer of icing. I used left over fondant here and there. My boys don't like fondant so I don't use it much. A sprinkle of toy spiders to top it off - DONE. Note to watch the spiders when serving little ones.

Enjoy.
