**Ghost Cake With Flaming Eyes**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 box of your favorite chocolate cake mix
– Ingredients needed to prepare the cake mix (eggs, oil, water)
– 1 cup white fondant
– Black food coloring gel
– Red food coloring gel
– 6 wooden skewers
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a round cake pan.
2. Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake it in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
3. While the cake is cooling, roll out the white fondant on a clean surface dusted with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Cut out a large circle that is slightly larger than the diameter of the cake. This will be the ghost’s body.
4. To make the ghost’s eyes, take a small portion of the white fondant and roll it into two small balls. Flatten them slightly to create the shape of eyes. Using the black food coloring gel, dot the centers of the eyes to create pupils. For the flaming effect, use the red food coloring gel to create fiery streaks radiating from the pupils.
5. Carefully lift the white fondant circle onto the cooled cake, covering it completely. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds in the fondant.
6. Insert the wooden skewers into the back of the cake at equal intervals, leaving a portion of each skewer exposed. These will serve as the ghost’s arms and contribute to the floating effect.
7. Place the fondant eyes near the top of the ghost’s body on the cake, gently pressing them into the fondant to secure them in place. Adjust the skewers to create a floating appearance for the ghost.
