Graveyard Cake Instructions

Graveyard Cake.

You make a sheet cake & frost with chocolate frosting.
Then you
cover it with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, so it
looks
like dirt.

To make headstones use a flat vanilla cookie
(rectangle shaped) and decorated with icing, use
gravestone
motifs like: RIP, skulls, etc.

Put the headstones on the cake, standing up to looke
like headstones.

Add some small Halloween decorations, like ghosts,
witches,
black cats.

Another cake idea is THE BLACK CAT. many of you
may have already seen
this.

You take two round cake layers. One you leave whole,
the other is cut so there is three pieces; one bow shaped (middle)
and two kind of long ovid shaped ones (either end), I can't figure
out how to draw a picture of it.

Anyway you take the bow shaped piece and put it on
the bottom of the cake, like a bow tie.

Take one of the ovid shaped pieces and cut in half the
short way, so you have to triangle shaped pieces. Put on top of
the round layer, like ears.

Eat the third piece.

Frost the whole thing with dark chocolate frosting. Pipe
on eyes
with green frosting, and nose & lips with red; use
licorice shoe
laces for wiskers.
