Need something to tuck into on Halloween? Try these…

Ingredients:

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180C and line a 12 hole muffin tin.
Cream the butter and the sugar together until light and fluffy.
Whisk the eggs until they are bubbly.
Slowly – while mixing – add the eggs and the flour gradually.
Put the mixture into the tin and bake for around 10-15 mins until a skewer or fork comes out clean.

Decoration – for the mummy cakes:

Make sure your cakes are flat on top, you may need to shave the top off to make them flat.
Roll out some white fondant icing next to some black fondant icing (also rolled out.)
Cut the black and the white into strips.
Put one black strip in the middle of the cake then layer the white strips on top.
For the eyes, make tiny round white circles and put 2 even smaller black circles on top.
Place the eyes onto the black strip of icing and that is the mummy cakes done!

Decoration – for the spider web cakes:

Make sure your cakes are flat on top, you may need to shave the top off to make them flat.
Roll out some green and black fondant icing.
Cut the green icing into circles (big enough to cover the top of the cake.) Place the green circles on to the top of the cake.
Now cut the black icing into very thin strips and copy the picture of the cakes above!

Happy Halloween!

I haven’t made this in about a year, whether that is because of the sun or just lack of rhubarb I’m not sure! So this is how I made it…

Ingredients:

Method

Cut the Rhubarb into 1 or 2 cm pieces.
Put the cut rhubarb in a over proof dish. Now add the sugar and orange zest, Make sure you have room to put the crumble on top.
Cook the rhubarb for 10-20 mins until you can smell the rhubarb and a fork comes out easily.
Whilst the rhubarb is cooking, mix the rest of the ingredients into a bowl and work them until they look all crumbled together and have a crumbled consistency.
Remove the rhubarb from the oven and pour the crumble on the top. Bake this in the oven for 30-45 mins.
Take it out when you think it is right.
Serve with ice cream!

Hope you enjoy this recipe!
