There, under the holiday, they bring something delicious and terrifying. But there is such a treat so much that no horror and not standing nearby. Therefore, we take a strong-willed decision: to make a cake for Halloween with your own hands!

The best basis for fantasy

Honestly, the main thing in a scary cake is his fighting Indian coloring with accompanying horrifying ornaments. So you can use the recipe of any cake. But still there is baking, more suitable for decoration, but there is one that significantly limits the possibilities of the confectioner in this respect. The most convenient for a cake for Halloween, we found a biscuit. We offer you our recipe for its manufacture.

1. 4 eggs are divided into proteins and yolks. The first are beaten with 3/4 glasses of sugar, the latter - in proud solitude.
2. Both masses are neatly connected.
3. Slowly, with mixing, a glass of flour and a half-spoon of baking powder are introduced.
4. The dough is poured into a greased form and baked from half an hour to forty minutes, until it stops sticking when piercing the toothpick.

Ready and cooled cake cut horizontally in half or 3 parts (depending on the thickness), each of them is soaked with syrup, then the cake for Halloween is collected, interlaced with your favorite cream. Then you can proceed to the main thing - giving the appropriate kind of terrible baking.

Design options

Letting go of your creative imagination, it is worth taking into account several points.

1. If the family has very young children (preschoolers), do not make a cake for Halloween (see photo in the review) is too terrible: you can really scare the child, and instead of a merry holiday you will have general and unsuccessful attempts to calm the roaring baby.
2. Do not strive to decorate the cake with extreme naturalism. In your adornment there must be something cartoon. Too detailed brains, eyes and bloody fingers can make guests feel disgusted.

Otherwise, the flight of your imagination does not hold back. The favorite and least complicated motives are:

1. Spider net with its masters in the center - everything is done from melted chocolate.
2. Witches are painted with colorful fondants, glazes and the same chocolate.
3. The bats. The most successful idea is to pour out chocolate and stick on skewers in a cake for Halloween.
4. Ghosts made of mastic or, again, painted.
5. Skeletons, rats and black cats in stock.

And if the artist has not yet died in you, then you can turn your cake into Halloween into a real work of art. And your imagination will help you.
