DIRECTIONS
- Lightly grease pan cups (optional) and fill each 3/4 full with cake batter
- Cool cakelettes completely in the pan. This helps cakelettes hold their shapes and features.
- Once cooled, remove cakelettes from pan and trim the bellies with a serrated knife.
- Turn cakelettes right side up and start decorating.
- Using a small offset spatula, apply a very light coat of cream cheese frosting to cakelette. This is called “dirty icing and keeps the fondant adhered to the cake.
- For each cakelette, take a golf-ball-size piece of kneaded white fondant and roll to 1/8 thick using a rolling pin.
- Drape rolled fondant over the top and sides of cakelette, lightly pressing it into all of the nooks and crannies
- Press the fondant into the facial features and outline areas of each ghost.
- Fit 3 piping bags with a coupler and a #4 tip and fill 1 with black, 1 with purple, and 1 with orange buttercream.
- Pipe decorations on top of each cakelette: black for the black eyes and mouths, purple for the tops of hands and dots along bottom edge, orange for BOO and bottom of hands.
