Halloween Treats for Little Monsters

 

Hiya Claire here.

I was in the kitchen baking with my 3 year old DD when she asked if we could make "scary but friendly monster cakes" Huh? I had a quick rummage in my baking supplies cupboard, I found some green food colouring & some tubes of writing icing, then I snaffled some Jelly Tots from DD's sweetie box (for the monsters noses). I mixed some butter icing with 3ozs butter & 6ozs icing sugar, adding the food colouring to the shade of "monster green" that DD liked I then mixed in 1 teaspoon of boiling water to set the icing. Then I just spooned the icing on the flattened it with the back of the spoon

 

DD added the Jelly Tot Noses (in the colour of her choice, of course) I then drew the eyes & noses with the writing icing, DD also said "can they have straight hair? Green, like mine?"  Okay then, green hair it is...

 

The recipe I used for the cakes is the standard Fairy Cake Recipe...

4ozs Self Raising Flour

4ozs Caster Sugar

4ozs Butter

2 Medium Eggs (beaten separately)

1 Tsp Vanilla Essence.

Beat the butter & sugar together, add 1 beaten egg, beat in & mix in 1 tablespoon of flour, add the second egg & add another tablespoon of flour, add the vanilla essence, then fold in the remaining flour. Put into cases (this recipe makes 12) & bake on the middle shelf on Gas Mark 5 for 20 minutes (or insert a skewer in the middle of the cake, if it comes out clean they're cooked)

 

Thanks for stopping by, Hope to see you again soon

and

 Happy Halloween

Claire
