Ghost cake Halloween marshmallows

Begin with any sheet cake; I prefer a classic round.

Start by scraping the sides to remove excess frosting and any decorations for a “naked cake” look.

Marshmallow Ghosts

Start by grabbing one of your large marshmallows and adding two oval circles to each marshmallow. These will be your ghost eyes.

What Ghost Cake Toppers are complete without a candle to wish upon? This makes the cake so fun for an October birthday cake with a little Halloween twist.

Pro tip: If you find it tricky to stick the candle into the marshmallow, it can be helpful to insert a skewer into the marshmallow first as a starting hole.

After completing your starter hole, add your mini candle and light the ghost marshmallows up.

Repeat these steps until your ideal topper number is complete.
