Spook-tacular!

Witches, Goblins and Ghosts!
(Among other scary and non-frieghtening costumed creatures) Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. It is the one time that you truly use your imagination and become some thing or someone else.

I was a busy gal Halloween 2009. With many people asking me to make them cupcakes and cakes. The Witch's Calderon, was outstanding. This cake was for a friends Spook-tacular gathering of 100 close friends. Weighing in at 41 pounds, this cake was an alternating six layer, Vanilla Itailian Cream and Devil's Food Cake with Mocha Buttercream and Brown Sugar Buttercream Frostings. I covered it in fondant and used buttercream frosting as the gurgling stew and air brushed layers of color to make it "pop." On the top of the cake I used a ramekin, filled with Dry Ice and a splash of H20 to give it additional pizzaz. The wooden spoon handle is also air brushed fondant. The calderon is garnished with plastic skulls, gummy worms and marshmallow eyeballs.

Everyone loved this cake and at first they didn't even realize it was cake! It was a fun work of art!
