Revisited.

I have made a ghost cake before… but I wanted to try some different recipes and techniques this time around.

More rounded ghost heads.

A smaller cake with less ghosts.

And maybe even a ghost Surprise Inside!

Next time I’ll try not to forget his mouth.

And turns out I like the original better anyway.

I wanted to get this on my blog before I forgot.  I seem to be doing that lately… forgetting things.

If you are reading this post by the light of the rising sun, then most likely I am on a plane for Kansas City.

I arrive at 8:30am and fly out at 7:30pm. (I am still a full time nursing mom and just couldn’t bear the thought of being away from my baby overnight.)

Its for a class taugh by the amazingly talented Helene of Tartelette.

See, this whole book thing is freaking me out.  Its one thing to take a picture and throw it on your blog and hope for the best.  Its quite another to have it be in print.  Forever.

I just dont know enough, and I think Helene is one of the best teachers out there.  I need her help badly!

So please forgive me for not posting recipes or a tutorial or even as many pictures as I normally do.

I am working really hard to reach this goal so that we can get back to normal around here.

I miss you guys!

  1. Best of luck to you in your travels tomorrow, my friend! This cake looks gorgeous as always, and I’m so curious about the shiny aspect of the white frosting – it almost looks as if it’s melting? Oh, and the ghost inside is TOO cute!

  3. Cute, cute cake… love your something inside cakes – I have 4 children, too and nursed all of them. Mine are a little older and all play sports (traveling teams) & my husband manages the boys baseball team – (I feel kind of bad that I can’t seem to find the time read Helene’s book, that I purchased a month ago)
    Good Luck to you!! – If anyone can do it, you can 🙂
    p.s. I hope all goes smoothly while your away & during your whirlwind adventure.
