"vampire bat cake" news and stories

Still searching for a Halloween-themed dessert for your friend's party on Friday night? Or maybe your son/daughter just told you that they volunteered you to bring something sweet to their class party after the all-school costume parade (do they still do that?). Whatever the reason, those of you in need of a good, homemade Halloween treat should look no further than the Vampire Bat Cake that Lisa at My Own Sweet Thyme posted today.

She made her version (inspired by a cake in the 1988 Wilton Cake Decorating Yearbook) for a Boy Scout auction, but it would work just as well for a potluck or party. It consists primarily of a single layer of chocolate cake, cut in half, a cupcake (for the bat's face) and some careful frosting. Lisa has posted step-by-step instructions and pictures of how she assembled the cake, so make sure to head over there and check it out.
