People traditionally dressed up in scary costumes to ward off Hallowe'en spirits. These ghoulish cakes have the opposite effect children - they can't keep away.

Halloween Cakes Ingredients
175g butter
175g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 eggs
175g self-raising flour
Cornflour 750g ready to roll white icing
black and pink food colouring
Method
Preheat the oven to 180c/350F/Gas Mark 4.
Beat together the caster sugar, butter and vanilla essence until light and fluffy. Add one egg at a time with a tablespoon of flour for each egg. Beat well and fold in the remaining flour.
Spoon into 12 greased and floured dariole moulds, place on a baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180C for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Cut the op of the cakes off to form a flat surface and then turn out onto a board or plate. Leave until completely cold.
Roll our the white icing on a surface dusted with cornflour and cut out 12 circles (can use a saucer as a guide).
From the trimmings, use a mini cutter to cut out some tiny oval shapes or roll some tiny balls of white icing into oval shapes. Dampen them with a little water and stick them onto the front of the ghost to make the eyes. Use the black writing icing to make the pupils

My four year old and I made these today and they look fantastic. We made them with Pure marg because he can't have any lactose. He loves them. Thank you :-)
