Graveyard Cake

A fun Halloween cake to make with kids. (Old photo, sorry, but you get the idea!)

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 12 - 15

Prep Time: a few minutes to decorate  

Ingredients

chocolate cake, baked, in 9 x 12 pan or sheet cake pan

chocolate icing

chocolate fudge-filled sandwich cookies

oval-shaped vanilla (with vanilla filling) sandwich cookies

icing writing pens

sprinkles and candy decorations such as skulls, pumpkins, gummy worms, marshmallow ghosts, etc

Directions

Top the baked chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Add chocolate sprinkles and/or crumbled chocolate sandwich cookies. Stick oval-shaped vanilla sandwiches cookies upright in the cake for tombstones–-write things on them like Eat Me! Help! RIP! I’m Alive! Marry Me! (It’s hard to write legibly on little cookies. I used Betty Crocker Food Writers.)
