How to make a ghost cake for Halloween?

Halloween party is fast approaching as lockdown is close. As usual in Switzerland, we are privileged, no curfew but we do not have the right any more to meet with friends or family if we are more than 10… children included… As a result the little party that I was looking forward to organizing with four couples of friends and their children for Halloween is not going to happen. Sniff. No trick or treat this year.

But hey, there’s no point in being depressed either and if we can no longer laugh with friends, we can always eat and please our children with a ghost cake filled with smarties and party with them until nightfall.

Ghost chocolate cake

For the recipe, I was inspired by a post I saw on instagram last year and for the rest I let my imagination run wild. Friends had already brought little ghosts cake and I started on a big one. It is very easy to sculpt.

Halloween, an Irish holiday?

My sister spent a few months in Ireland last year to finish her studies and do you know what she taught me? I, who thought hard that Halloween was a party that came straight from the United States, it seems that it comes first from Ireland. Like what, we learn every day.

Halloween, a celebration that is gradually taking hold in Europe and here

Halloween is Halloween. While on November 1st in Europe we celebrate our dead. Now every year we also invite our friends to celebrate this holiday. There is no valid reason other than the one that we love to invite people over, to dress up and then that we don’t have a garden. While our friends invite us in summer for barbecues, we invite them in winter for all kinds of festivities, traditional or not.

Some tips and tricks for a successful Halloween party

Want to throw a great Halloween party but aren’t sure where to start to make it a success?

  1. Buy a pumpkin, empty it, cut it up and put a candle in it.
  2. Mummify some sausages for the aperitif
  3. Make ghost and spider pizzas for the kids. Super easy and guaranteed success.
  4. Disguise young and old.

And for the rest, let your imagination run wild and, above all, enjoy the party because it’s not just for children. We must not forget us, keep a heart, allow us to enjoy life longer!
