Zucchini Brownie Graveyard

Some people seem to think that I spend a lot of time on my Halloween madness, but the truth is, I'm pretty lazy and I'm all for taking the easiest-least-amount-of-work possible route. This graveyard cake is the the perfect example!

What you need:

  • a zucchini brownie cake (recipe on this post)
  • chocolate butter cream, I didn't weigh anything, just chucked butter, cocoa and icing sugar in and blended them
  • white chocolate
  • skeleton mold (something like this) I have a dinosaur bones and a skull mold so I used those
  • gummy worms
  • optional - stone candy, grave stones, coffins...
Super easy, Make the cake, smash it up, dollop some buttercream in, then half bury the bones, skulls and worms etc. Done!

I did it in a big pan this time just because it was easier to transport to the party, if we had this at home I'd have gone to town a bit but I really needed to keep this version simple.

It will take more than a typhoon...

....to stop a certain little boy from going 'trick or treating'! One of our playgroup friends always holds a great party in the park across from their house but we are in the middle of a typhoon..boooo...luckily they have found a community room to rent for a few hours so at least we can have some kind of party! We usually do pot luck for playgroup parties and for Halloween I like to make something a bit special, this time I decided to make a cake....

Ebi-kun can't wait to dig in, 
sorry, couldn't resist!

I made the gravestones from marshmallow fondant, the skulls and bones are white chocolate, the worms are gummy worms. The base is chocolate cake covered in chocolate butter cream then 2 packs or oreo biscuits smashed up in a ziplock bag makes the dirt. If I didn't have to transport it  would have gone to town and made a tree too but I didn't fancy my chances of getting it there in one piece!
