Halloween cake ghosts with a crunchy glaze. The eyes are made with a melted chocolate stick. The recipe is so simple and therefor it's great fun to bake these with kids.
Sometimes I bake alone in my kitchen, but often I bake while the kids are at home. And they love to help me. These ghosts I baked with my two youngest and also the glaze and the face were made by them (they also ate them all for that matter :-)).
I think it's always very entertaining two little chattering fellows that have to help me and try to explain how I need to cook (because if you're seven, of course they got a lot of experience and therefor know everything better).
The most fun I think is when it's time to decorate. The tongues go out and the faces are super tight. It is a very precise job. And how proud they are when it succeeded. They ran of to show dad and of course the cake must be on a photo. But everything should go quickly because they already have good appetite. Lovely isn't it?
Because ...
- you want to get the most airy cakes, use the ingredients at room temperature.
- you do not want lumps in your glaze, mix it long enough. It must be given some time to absorb all the moisture well.
- let the cakes cool down completely, so you will get a nice glaze. Otherwise it runs off.
- it's almost Halloween, there are lots of fun baking forms available. In this recipe I have used the tin with ghosts, but I've seen pumpkins and skulls.
