Making a dessert to take to a friend’s house tomorrow, and am debating which skull cake pan I want to use. Here’s what I have.
Am thinking of making the little ones. In red velvet. Though, it actually might be fun to do both, especially since I only have one of the mini skull pans, and they only make 6 at a time. Hmmmm.
Preliminarily, (why is that not a word?) am thinking of doing some kind of glaze on the outside. Last time I tried to make a skull cake (using the big pan), I made some fondant which did NOT turn out very well. I actually still have a picture, because I thought it looked fairly creepy despite not being anything close to what I was aiming for. (Also the cake was super dry because I filled the pans too full – so if I make it again it’ll be smaller than this.)
(I know, it’s extremely ugly.)
So…..red velvet cake, maybe a lavender glaze (because I love lavender), and some sprinkles or some such. Need to go to Publix for some of this. Will post picture if they turn out. Might bake the cakes tonight and then decorate tomorrow? Hm. Well, anyway. Was just getting some ideas out.
EDIT!!!
These pans are amazing. Turns out that glaze is waaaay easier than fondant.
