Many, many years ago (2006!) a fellow blogger sent me an Interesting Package that was full of all sorts of goodies and fun stuff. Included in there was a recipe for a super cool cake that looked like a witch's cauldron. All these years I have wanted to make it and finally did this year!
It's basically an upside down bunt cake with lots of sugary, gummy goodies bubbling up!
I went a little off road with what items I placed in the brew. I did gummy teeth, brains, and worms. Along with candy eyeballs, candy witch finger suckers, and sprinkles. In the bottom pic I had forgotten to finish the pyre, oops! It's made from pretzel sticks, rods, and cut up bits of red twizzlers.
A little bonus in this post is the only new Halloween item I picked up this year is that gorgeously hideous vintage 90s rocking witch. Unfortunately I can't get her to work but I love her even without her cackling "I'm going to get you my little sweetie.... heh..heh... heh...hehhhh!" with her green eyes flashing!
Surprisingly the recipe is still out in internetlands if you would like to make your own:
Hey Mary! I swear I've been checking your blog for the past few years and somehow missed these posts. The only thing that showed up as "recent" was the Thanksgiving! So weird! It was fun to look at all of them. I especially enjoyed the Christmas party and your birthday cake! Hope you're well! Jennilee
ReplyDeleteHey there Jennilee!
ReplyDeleteI have been working on doing some catch up on the past years and those posts are actually newly posted but they happened in 2025 so I was trying to keep them in proper timeline. It just keeps them looking old! sorry for the confusion. I have several more posts that I am still working on to fill in some gaps to get everything up to date. Thanks so much for checking in!
