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!
If the recipe calls for shortening, can I use butter instead?? I always thought that shortening could be replaced with butter, but I’m not sure?
Thanks!
Mouth or no mouth, that ghost inside the cake is priceless. Nicely done Amanda!
This is NEAT! No mouth needed. Quiet ghosts are nicer, right? I think…and I hope I am not about to sound stupid…I just bought a book by Helene…Pixel to Plate. I should check BEFORE commenting…but I’ll know for sure right after I finish typing, LOL! Nice WONDERFUL cake!
I said it backward, but I got the author right, LOL!
I LOVE this cake. I hope you will eventually find the time to show us how to get the ghost inside. Amazing!
It was great meeting you yesterday! This cake is oh-so-adorable!
Cute before cutting into it, and simply over the top afterward! Thanks for sharing your inspiring work!
Amanda–it was wonderful meeting you yesterday at Helene’s workshop! Just wanted to wish you the very best with your book. I’m sure it will be beautiful!
I love it! I first fell in love with your blog last year over your first ghost cake, so this just adorable to me 🙂 Love the ghost inside, and so so my girls!
Hope you will be telling us how the ghost got inside! This is so stinkin’ cute that I am dying to make it for our Halloween dinner!
