Mini Ghosts Chocolate and Oreos Layer Cake
Chocolate and Oreos layer cake with piped decoration that look like cute little ghosts. I made this cake for Halloween, and its uniqueness is the striped pattern which can be achieved by using an edged cake comb (I made it out of a piece of acetate). Smoothing the sides of the cake with this comb, creates cavities which can then be filled with plain cream, and smoothed again for a striped finish.
