It's the beginning of the crazy holiday season,
So we have a good reason
To begin this time of year
With a little Halloween Cheer!
We had too much fun creating these festive goodies!
For these creations we baked our Devil's Food and topped them with ganache, whipped ganache, and vanilla buttercream.
We were privileged to make some more for a special Halloween baby shower this past weekend. Instead of the devil's food we made a Red Hot Velvet with whipped chocolate ganache for the Devil cupcakes. The tails and horns were made using melted red candy chocolate. Nelay was amazing making all of these little guys!
Courtesy of some orange center Oreo's, the Witches Hat's were created coupled with a Kiss and melted chocolate. How cute are the witches boot wrappers?
To create the Ghosts we first dipped them in ganache then topped with a swirl of smooth vanilla buttercream. The eyes are complements of some mini chocolate chips.
Finishing off our Halloween extravaganza is a the Spiderweb on top of a lemon with raspberry buttercream. We experimented with 3 different styles: black gel on the frosting pulling a toothpick through to create a web, a white chocolate piped web, and a black piped web. Considering the black gel may leave the guests with black teeth we quickly turned to the chocolate piped idea and ultimately used the black melting chocolates to create the web. (Unfortunately we do not have those pictured here.) You would think with 3 boys I would have had a picture of a spiderweb from all their Spiderman paraphernalia...alas I had to freehand them and must say they turned out just fine.
