Happy Halloween

Hi all, sharing with you a Halloween birthday cake for my friend's 8 years old gal....

Made with lots of fun and all edible candies, cookies (Smarties, Arnott's Sticko fingers, Oreo Cookies, Rocky Sticks, Milo Nuggets), covered with chocolate fondant.

So so nice, Nancy, how on earth did you do the tree?

Love the look of the witch :-)

The witch sure has a very mean look! And the pumpkins are just so adorable!!!

This is so cute.

Very cute, Nancy! I love it!

wow aunty nancy the cake look so cool and creative. How long it took u to make

Nancy, very creative... Who dare to eat this "nice piece of art"?

Very creative! I love the baby ghost in the tree. I would eat this cake... it looks too delicious not to...

I saw this cake when I had a class at CC last Sat. Stunning! Can tell straight away that Nancy had a lot of fun making this cake

Yeah, its really a pc of art!! Dont think I can bear to eat it.

Thanks a bunch everyone. Yes indeed, I had so much fun working on it... like a kid myself. I was in and out of the kitchen at the shop, working on it and it took me the whole afternoon.

And yes the gal's family felt it was too sayang to cut...

Gerry, the tree was worked with chocolate fondant.. I use sphaghetti sticks for branches and fettuccine for the trunk. Worked in air conditioned room and before it could sank, the air cond dried it up.

It is soooo perfect ! .... BOO-licious ..... Great pc of work Nancy !

girls just wondering if u know the story of how halloween came about?
well known for its witches, goblins and other grotesque decorations can be traced back to the ancient Celts of britain and ireland. On the full moon nearest Nov 1, they celebrated the festival of Samhain, meaning 'summer's end', they believe that during samhain the veil between the human and the supernatural world parted and that the spirits both good and bad roamed the earth. the souls of the dead were thought to return to their homes and family would put food and drinks for their ghostly visitors in hopes of appeasing them. thus when children today dressed as ghost or witches go from house to house threatning a mischievous trick unless they receive a treat, they unwittingly perpetuate the ritual of samhain.

I didn't know that myself. scary!!
