3. Roll up the sandwiches and make three indentations with a blunt knife to form the finger joints.

4. Trim the ends of the fingers into a 'V' shape and stick an almond on to each tip with a little cream cheese to form the nails.

5. Now for the gruesome bit—add a dollop of strawberry jam over the end of the finger for the blood!

Easy, Spooky Ghost Cakes

A popover mold is ideal for baking these spooky little cakes but you could use cut up pound cake instead under the white icing.

You will need:

·1 stick unsalted butter plus extra for greasing

·Half cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar

·1 tsp vanilla essence

·2 large eggs

·1 cup self-rising flour

·Cornstarch for dusting

·Non stick baking spray

·1 x 24 oz box white rolled fondant icing

·1 tube of black writing icing

Makes 6 Ghoulish Ghost Cakes

1. Beat together the butter, sugar and vanilla essence until light and fluffy. Add one egg at a time adding a tablespoon of flour with each egg. Beat well and fold in the remaining flour.

2. Preheat the oven to 350F. Spoon the batter into a popover pan that has been sprayed with non stick baking spray and fill each molds till just over half full. Place on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Allow to cool, cut off the top of the cakes to form a flat surface then turn out onto a board or plate. Allow to cool completely.

3. Dust your work surface with cornstarch and roll out the icing . Cut out circles to drape over the cakes. You can use a saucer as a guide. Drape these over the sponge cakes to form ghosts.

4. From the trimmings either use a mini cutter to cut out some tiny white oval shapes or roll out some tiny balls of white icing into oval shapes . Dampen them with a little water and stick them onto the front of the ghost. Use a blob of black Writing Icing for the pupils of the eyes.

Halloween party:

An outdoor Halloween party can be even more exciting than an indoor one. Why is that? Because nature around, trees, bushes, ponds and earth become a part of your décor and you can play very well with it.

Patio is a great place to organize an outdoor Halloween party. There is usually a roof protecting as from sun as from rain. Besides you can easily hang some decorations to it.
