Answer 2

If it's for kids, don't go the homemade route, they just don't appreciate grown up cakes. Pick up a couple boxes of Duncan Hines Devil's Food cake and some Chocolate Frosting. Prepare the cakes in 9X9 pans and frost. Use an orange gel writer to draw webs on your cakes and buy a bag of plastic spider rings to decorate your Devil's Food Webs.
I still do this to pass out to my son's friends when they come on Halloween night. (He's 19)

Answer 3

Since it's for a group of girls how about cupcakes? They're easier to eat than cake. Bleeding Cupcakes: 1 egg 8 ounces softened cream cheese 1/3 cup sugar red food coloring or frosting tint 6 ounces white chocolate chunks 1 recipe homemade or boxed cake batter Preheat the oven to the specified temperature in your cupcake recipe. Line muffin tins with foil or paper liners. Mix together the filling before mixing together the batter. Beat the egg in a medium bowl. Beat in the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth. Add the sugar and mix until smooth. Add the coloring until the desired color is reached. Make the color several shades darker than the desired end result as the color will lighten as it bakes. Fold in the white chocolate chunks. Prepare the cupcake batter. Fill the cups 2/3 full with the cake batter. Place about 1½ teaspoonsful of the filling in the center of each cupcake. Bake, cool, and frost as directed in the cupcake recipe

Answer 4

Buy some sponge cakes - angel food with the hole in the middle. Chocolate frosting, and in the hole put 'dirt and worms.' Dirt is Oreo cookies run through blender/food processor and the gummy worms crawling out of the dirt and on top of the cake.

Kitty Litter Cake

1 spice or German-chocolate cake mix

1 white cake mix

2 large packages instant vanilla pudding

1 large package of vanilla or lemon sandwich cookies

Green food coloring (optional - blue food coloring)

1 dozen small Tootsie Rolls®

1 new kitty litter pan

1 new kitty litter scoop

Prepare the cake mixes, using any size or shape of pan, according to package directions and allow to cool to room temperature.


Prepare pudding mix according to package directions and chill until ready to assemble the cake.


Crush the sandwich cookies in small batches into a food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup of cookie crumbs, add a few drops of green food coloring, perhaps a drop of blue and mix until completely and thoroughly colored.


When the cake is cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Add 1/2 of the uncolored cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. IMPORTANT: mix in just enough pudding to moisten and hold the mixture together. Too much pudding will render the finished cake too soggy. Gently fold to combine.


Spoon the cake/pudding/cookie mixture into the litter box and smooth the top.


Heat three Tootsie Rolls® in the microwave until soft and pliable. Shape the ends so they're no longer blunt, but rounded and slightly curved. You know the effect you're trying to achieve! Repeat with three more Tootsie Rolls® . Stick these six Tootsie Rolls® in the cake/pudding/cookie mixture.


Sprinkle the remaining uncolored cookie crumbs over the top of the cake/pudding/cookie mixture. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top - the idea is to make it resemble the colored chlorophyll / deodorizer particles found in kitty litter.


Heat five Tootsie Rolls® in the microwave until almost melted, then scrape them onto the top of the cake and drag through and/or sprinkle with some of the cookie crumbs. Heat the last Tootsie Roll® in the microwave until pliable, then stick it over the side of the litter box and sprinkle lightly with the cookie crumbs.


Place a sheet of newspaper on your serving table, place the kitty litter box in the center and sprinkle with some of the cookie crumbs on the newspaper. Place the kitty litter scoop on or next to the little box.


Enjoy!


Variation
Bake both cakes in 13 x 9 pans, following the directions on the box. When cool, carefully remove the cakes from their pans. Instead of breaking up the cake into pieces, carefully slice each cake in half horizontally (Using a sawing motion with a piece of thread or dental floss sometimes works better for this instead of a knife!) and alternate layers of cake and pudding in the litter box, finishing with pudding and then follow the steps above for the Tootsie Rolls® and cookie crumb topping.

Answer 8

Since Halloween is one holiday that’s focused on food and fun, it’s easy to come up with great party activities for kids where everyone even gets something edible and adorable as a favor. There are endless variations on cookie and cupcake decorating with favorite Halloween candies, so don’t get scared the next time you have to host a group of little ghouls — just try one of the fun and easy activities below!

Turn simple sugar cookies into real Halloween treats by cutting them out into spooky shapes and bake as usual. When the cookies have cooled, prepare boldly-colored mixtures of powdered sugar, water and food coloring and let the kids (and grown-ups) go wild.

Create your Own Creepy Chocolate Lollipops
Everyone gets a lump of with Play-Doh and a (kid-friendly) plastic knife to create their own mold for one-of-a-kind Halloween lollypops. You can buy or make modeling chocolate — a mixture of chocolate and corn syrup — at a baking shop to make it even easier to work with the melted chocolate and the molds.

Make a Haunted Halloween House
Create a spooky Halloween House using your favorite candies as a fun party or family activity and you’ll end up with a great centerpiece to use throughout the Halloween festivities. Make sure you have enough spooky visitors for your haunted house by picking up ghost-shaped marshmallows and bats, gummy worms, and other candies that haunt local shops in October.

Serve Crunchy Candy Sushi
Use fruit roll-ups and marshmallow treats with a variety of fillings for colorful and kid-friendly candy sushi. Kids can cut the fillings to size, roll their sushi, and create exotic names for their new creations — a real "rainbow roll" won’t have anything on these playful treats!

Host a Cupcake Decoration Contest
Either make chocolate and vanilla cupcakes in advance or with the kids — there is lots of easy stirring, measuring, and egg-breaking to be done — before you get down to the serious business of decoration. Set out bowls of chocolate and vanilla frosting and lots of candies for decorating. Help kids add a drop at a time of food coloring to color their frosting and see where their imaginations lead them!

Bake a Jack-O-Lantern Cake
Bake your favorite cake recipe in muffin top pans and frost the cooled cakes with orange-colored buttercream. Kids can design the faces first on a piece of paper and get help unrolling a fruit roll-up and cutting out eyes, nose, and mouth with a sharp paring knife. Gently peel the pieces off of the plastic backing and lay on the frosted cakes to get a jack-o-lantern grin out of all your guests!
