Trial run on Halloween Baking

Wilton makes a skull cake pan now! This is my first try at using it. I covered it with a very light layer of butter cream then fondant. buying Black icing is much easier than trying to make it. you wind up adding too much coloring only to have it charcoal gray and tasting like food coloring. NOT GOOD!
I'm not finished with this cake yet I'm adding grass and a gummy snake for added creepy factor.


This is my attempt to copy the Werewolf cupcakes from the book HELLO, CUPCAKE

Trying out zombie looks for Halloween

DEAD START

We went to be extras in a indy film DEAD START

Zombie school! Learn how to relax your arms, and shuffle with a black look on your face. Heck, I do that every morning before coffee!Learn how to attack your victim. NO REAL BITING! In for the kill! Getting made up! Going HOME! We got on the making of footage that's about it. We got there before 7AM and went through Zombie U. Froze at first then roasted... make up took FOREVER there was probably 200 to 250 people. They weren't expecting such a good turn out the last call they only got 40! But it was in March and cold out. We whimped out about 1:30PM Hot tired and STICKY. That blood is corn syrup with red food color. The inside of our arms kept sticking together it was gross and uncomfortable... I learned some new make up techniques for Halloween. I can't wait to try them out!
We got to see quite a bit of the filming. It was educational!

I know one thing I'm NOT taking Courtney the next time we do something like this because she whines too much! ROFL!
