One for the Table: Mason Jar Graveyard Spooky Cakes
With Halloween upon us, it's time to conjure up some holiday treats. My boys love anything for Halloween that is remotely gross, which is why these spooky cakes are a hit. The idea of worms coming out of a pretend grave is also right up their alley.
I wish I could take these to their Halloween party at school, but we are no longer allowed to bring homemade treats. Such a bummer.
You want to make sure your mason jars are washed and completely dried before you begin. I use 1/2 pint wide mouth jars. They are the perfect size.
Filling the jars half full of batter allows the cakes to puff up nicely, leaving enough room for the topping and candy. I don't have a lot patience with decorator gel, but I did the best I could. By placing the gummy worms in first, it is easy to spoon the graveyard crumbs around them. How cute are these? They will be a hit with your family too!
