That's just not nice.
OH, BOY- Was this a FUN cake for me to do!! I looove Halloween, and I have a young neighbor with an October birthday. Some may remember his 3rd birthday cake...the skull? Well, this year, I got to do a graveyard. Details:
The tree (my favorite part!):

I piped the tree on a pretzel rod with melted chocolate. When it had set, I
flipped it over & laid a royal icing moon in the branches, the piped the
trunk & branches again on the back. This suspended the moon in the branches.
I left some pretzel rod bare on the bottom to stick into the cake. I also made
the bottom of the trunk wider & flared to add more support. When I put it in
the cake, I piped some melted chocolate into the hole before inserting the
pretzel. It stood!
The Graveyard:


I baked sugar cookies in the shape of tombstones & did the names &
details in melted chocolate. The ghosts are also chocolate, piped out onto waxed
paper. I made the grave dirt with crushed oreos & graham crackers. I also
'glued' bat icing decs together back-to-back on thin wires, so they would 'fly'
above the cake.
