For step by step pictures do visit cinnamonsin.wordpress.com I've prepare a little spooky treat this Halloween- a 100% edible gummy bear graveyard! It's basically an instant brownie cake and its simple to prepare, as complicated as it may seem rest assured there's no tricks for this disgusting treat, if you do as I say... MUAHAHAHhahaa... Components of the cake 1.Base and soil- Brownie 2.Slim pool and center gummy zombie piece- Gummy bears 3.Tree trunk- Chocolate pocky, melted chocolate 4.Tombstone- Square biscuit, melted chocolate 5.Eyeballs- White chocolate balls, melted chocolate 6.Fence around the graveyard- White pocky sticks 7.Moss effect- Green tea powder 8."Spider web tree top" - Caramelized sugar
1.Micro wave 1/2 chocolate bar and gummy bears separately(remember to save 1 for the center piece) for about 2 minutes till melted.
2.Preheat oven with instructed temperature on the brownie box, prepare brownie mix and pour into oiled baking dish and bake with instructed time.
3.Grab a bunch of chocolate pocky and coat melted chocolate all around it to create the tree trunk. Refrigerate to hold its shape.
4.Poke a hole at corner of zip lock bag with a tooth pick from the inside, fill it with melted chocolate and pipe whatever you want on the tombstone eg. (RIP, "Cross", etc.) and refrigerate.
5.Pipe dots on the white chocolate balls to create eye balls and use a tooth pick to coat with jam and refrigerate. *(TIP: pipe a dote below each white chocolate ball to help them stick on plate so they don't roll around)
6.When brownie is done baking, ease it out of the baking dish by running a knife around it. Pop it out onto a plate and cool completely.
7.Carve out the grave, puddle and hole for the tree and tombstones with a small knife and reserve crumbs and pile it beside the dug out grave.
8.Fill up the patch with melted gummy to create slim puddle and place the gummy in the tomb. *(TIP: Glue the bottom of the gummy with melted gummy to make it stand)
9.Arrange the eye balls, tombstones, tree trunk, white pocky fence(use tooth pick to create small holes first) and sprinkle green tea powder around. Refrigerate till gummy puddle has hardened.
10.Melt sugar in a pan till it becomes caramel, cool for about half a minute till caramel starts to thicken a little but NOT HARDENED(if it does simply reheat it)
11.Using a fork, dip it into caramel and in an "up & down" whipping motion flick the caramel drizzles onto a aluminum foil. The flicking should cause the caramel to harden in mid air, forming the "spider-web" sugar effect.
12.Place spider web onto tree trunk to complete the cake. (Warning: Do not prepare the spider web until the last minute before serving as it would melt)
This looks delicious!
