Halloween cake walk

This year Lucy's class was in charge of the cake walk at the Halloween carnival so we made a cake to donate.

We made a chocolate cake (box with added egg and 1 cup sour cream, and milk instead of water) and frosted it with chocolate frosting.

Patti's Chocolate Frosting:

1/3 cup cocoa

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup softened butter

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla3 1/2 cup powdered sugar 

We used pretzels for the fence, Milano cookies for the tombstones, crushed Oreos for the "fresh gravesites", and fondant ghosts (rolled thin, cut out with a round cookie cutter or glass, and a face piped on with black frosting) draped over suckers.

We even dug out a grave and added bones inside. This was really fun to make!

Earlier today I helped Wyatt's class make sugar cookies. These are the "example" cookies of what they could do. 

They had so much fun!
