Halloween baking<\/h3>\n

So Halloween is well an truly upon us now. It’s really not that far away any more, and its the perfect excuse to make anything ‘spooky’! Lets be honest though, its not spooky at all but they’re still mini little ghosts and I will call the cute and spooky.<\/p>\n

After the successes of my Halloween drip cake<\/a> and pumpkin spice cupcakes<\/a>, I thought I should do some other Halloween baked goodies and these were too good to resist.<\/p>\n

When searching through Pinterest, there were so many cute little bits on ghosts, I wanted to do something ghost themed! I wasn’t too sure how, but meringues seemed best. As I didn’t want to have to toast\/torch the meringue so that it would stay brilliantly white, I went for an italian meringue.<\/p>\n

I went for a simple chocolate cupcake using a 100% cocoa powder<\/a> and it made the cupcakes a really dark and beautiful colour. In my mind, it made it more spooky and it made them taste DELIGHTFUL! The contrast between the cupcakes and the meringue makes the ghosts seem even whiter!<\/p>\n
