It's nearly Halloween again, which means it's time for the annual Halloween cake. Yay!

This is the basic plan. Don't laugh - I was a little bit tipsy when I drew it :-)

Ok, so once I'd sobered up a little bit I did some research so I wasn't shooting blind...

...and while the cake was baking I made a couple of wings from some crepe paper coat hangers.

I bought a special ball cake mould for this mission. According to the instructions you can make all sorts of balls with it - footballs, basketballs, tennis balls. In fact, anything *round*. Wowsers.

The two halves of the cake glued together.

A quick bit of decorating later, and it's starting to look like the original drawing. (Or hopefully a bit better than that).

A few sugary features later, and the cake is complete.
