Easy Halloween Birthday Cake

Easy Halloween Birthday Cake – Oct 13P1080633

A friend celebrated her birthday this week and I wanted to bake her a cake and also embrace Halloween! While my 2 and 3 year old loved the idea of spiders, bats and pumpkins on a cake, I’m sure my friend may well have prefered something a bit more girly. It was not to be….easy Halloween Birthday cake is what she got!

It was a 6” chocolate cake, I used my fave chocolate cake recipe courtesy of the Pink Whisk. It’s delish! Lovely and moist without being too heavy. I didn’t have time to go down the sugarpaste route to cover it, so I just sprinkled icing sugar on it and put some Halloween cake toppers on the cake and board.

The pumpkins and spiders are super easy. I used a tappit cutter to do the bats. You only need coloured fondant and a few basic tools and a few mins to make them.

This cake is not fancy and is easy to decorate – next year, hopefully I’ll have more time to spend on my cake toppers 🙂
