Happy Halloween!


It's the day for candy and spooky things. I don't know about you, but I feel blessed to have 4 children on this day. They get to go beg for treats and I have quadruple the amount of candy to choose from at the end of the night!
In honor of Halloween I'm posting this cake.
I recently made this and while normally this would have been fairly simple, I was going for realism. You see, this cake was for an ophthalmologist! A man who looks at eyeballs all day would be looking with scrutiny at my cake. I HAD to make this eyeball realistic!

With a round cake sitting on top of an 8" cake, I carved it a bit, and then added all the details. It took layers and layers of painting with food coloring in different colors to achieve the look. Then I finished it with clear piping gel for a "glisten".

It left me thinking that maybe one day I'll host a Halloween party. If I do, this is the cake I'll be making!
