Halloween has become a must-have holiday for us not so long ago. In any case, for those who have children. However, adults are also not averse to having fun and being scared. However, if there are children at the celebration, there must be a scary cake: on Halloween, even sweets should be intimidating. The simplest solution is to go to a good pastry shop. Something tasty and terrifying is always brought there on holiday. But there is such a treat so much that no horror movies were standing nearby. Therefore, we make a volitional decision: make a cake for Halloween with our own hands!
The best foundation for fantasy
Honestly, the main thing in the scary cake is its battle Indian coloring with the accompanying terrifying decorations. So you can use the recipe for any cake. But still there is baking more suited for decorating, and there is one that significantly limits the confectioner's possibilities in this regard. The most convenient cake for Halloween, we found a biscuit. We offer you our recipe for its manufacture.
- 4 eggs are divided into proteins and yolks. The former beat with 3/4 cup sugar, the latter in splendid isolation.
- Both masses are neatly connected.
- Slowly, with stirring, a glass of flour and half a spoonful of baking powder are introduced.
- The dough is poured into a greased form and baked from half an hour to forty minutes, until it stops sticking when pierced by a toothpick.
Ready and cooled cake is cut horizontally in half or in 3 parts (depending on thickness), each of them is soaked in syrup, then Halloween cake is collected, peeled by your favorite cream. Then you can proceed to the main thing - giving the appropriate type of scary baking.
Design options
Giving free rein to his creative imagination, it is worth considering several points.
- If the family has very young children (preschoolers), you should not make a Halloween cake (see the photo in the review) too scary: you really can scare the child, and instead of a happy holiday you will have universal and unsuccessful attempts to calm the roaring baby.
- Do not strive to make the cake extremely naturalistic. Something cartoony should remain in your embellishment. Too detailed brains, eyes and bloody fingers can cause disgust among guests.
Otherwise, the flight of your imagination is not restrained by anything. Favorite and least complicated motives are as follows:
- A spider web with its owners in the center - everything is made of melted chocolate.
- Witches - are painted with colorful sweets, icing and the same chocolate.
- The bats. The best idea is to cast it from chocolate and stick it on skewers into a Halloween cake.
- Ghosts made of mastic or, again, painted.
- Skeletons, rats and black cats in stock.
And if the artist has not died in you yet, then you can turn your Halloween cake into a real work of art. And your imagination will help you.
Halloween pumpkin cake: recipe with photo
The base is different from the standard; Nevertheless, the recipe is very popular precisely on this holiday. 2 pinches of saffron are poured with a spoon of boiling water. After 10 minutes, it is mixed with a glass of pumpkin puree made from baked vegetable and orange zest. 2 eggs beat with a third glass of brown sugar, vanilla and salt. Both mixtures are combined, kneaded with a glass of flour, baking powder and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil; cake is baked from the mass for half an hour. Further actions - as is the case with a regular biscuit.
Pumpkin Cake
Form is the hallmark for Halloween. To fool yourself less with its recreation, use two forms for pudding. The upper edges after cooling are trimmed so that the halves close tightly; each cake is half along the table surface, all parts are glued together with oil glaze. One of the bottoms for stability is trimmed evenly. One third of a kilo of sugar fondant is dyed orange. It rolls and sticks all over the cake. Pumpkin slices are pressed with a skewer. “Smile” is drawn with melted chocolate; you can sit a chocolate witch on top.
