Haunted Castle Cake

Super easy but time consuming!

I used fondant to make all the characters (Witch, ghosts, black cat, jack-o-laterns, bat and tree).

Each stone on the castle is made from little balls of fondant and put onto the cake layered with fondant.

The spires are just ice creams cones inverted and covered in fondant.

The spider webs (which turned out horrible) are spun sugar. I now have 3 candy thermometers as I dropped and broke mine as I was making this batch!

The dead grass is just shredded coconut with black food color mixed in.
