Billy Says It's Haunted cake by Silvia Ruggiero

Description

Hi, this is my second entry on this competition and it has been lots of fun making this cake.
My son had asked me to make a scary house as Halloween cake and, as I was scrolling down all the possible designs for my second entry, I came across this one and though it was absolutely perfect.
The house is all made of cake. Its a 3 tiers cake so it has two small cake boards, one half way and one under the roof, and dowels.
All the fences were a true labor of love as hand rolled and stacked and no sticks are present in there, just sugar paste and a lot of patience.
The top of the house is a tiny cake upside down, the ghosts are made out of gum paste and royal icing and held in the cake with a toothpick.
The balcony is a piece of card board, covered in sugar paste and held in place with two toot picks.
Inedible things are 3 tooth picks, 5 dowels and 3 cake boards.
It was really fun and delicious and I hope you'll like it.
