Halloween Marshmallow Toppers from Wilton Industries
Does the thought of decorating a cake freak you out?
Put your frosting fears aside this Halloween and get creative in the kitchen with your kids by whipping up one of these easy holiday cakes.
Check out our Halloween Party Ideas or browse for Halloween Treats on our holiday pages.
You can pick up a frosted cake from your local bakery or grocery store and decorate it, or use these tips if you are baking it at home:
- Use cake flour, not all-purpose flour. Cake flour is lighter and you'll be able to tell the difference in the cake's texture.
- Make sure your baking soda or baking powder is fresh.
- Grease your cake pans and then line the bottom with wax paper. Grease over the wax paper and then dust the bottom and sides of the pan with flour. This method will help your cake pop out of the pan with ease.
- Place cake pans on the center rack, unless the instructions suggest otherwise, so the cake pans will have an even flow of hot air surrounding them during the baking process.
