Halloween Haunted House. The ghosts, bats, cats, gravestones and moon are sugar cookies and covered with thinned royal icing, and the house is gingerbread. Since it was my first time with gingerbread, I used pre-made cookies from Wilton, but assembled and decorated the house myself. The cake is Devil's Food cake (of course!) with chocolate ganache filling. This was for an English Department's meeting, so the tombstones have things that they wish would 'die'...the overuse of the word "Like", etc...
