A Scary Skeleton Halloween Cake!

I made this cake for Halloween. It’s a skeleton coming out of a grave. VERY SCARY!!!

I got this cake idea from a Wilton Yearkbook.

The skeleton is made from a popcorn/corn syrup mixture. I used the pumpkin cake pan from Wilton to shape the skull, I shaped the arms and hands by hand. I used lollipop sticks to give the arm strength. The facial features are made from royal icing.

The skeleton is sitting on a sheet cake with chocolate icing. Oreo cookie crumbs make the dirt, and green buttercream is used for the grass.

This cake served ~25-30.
