Halloween Graveyard Cake

24 Oct 2019 Home, Recipes

 

Hi Friends!! Two blog posts in one day, who am I??? I’m excited to share our Halloween Graveyard Cake that we’ve made not once, but TWICE this month!! We’ve been bringing it as a dessert to friends houses and it’s SUCH a hit with the little ones. It also tastes delicious because of a special little trick we do on the dirt 😉

Grace and Brian love baking and decorating this cake, partly because they sneak in lots of treats throughout the process, i.e. gummy worms and candy corn pumpkins.

Our Halloween Graveyard Cake is super easy to make! We found all of our ingredients at Walmart and the total cost was under $15. For a dessert that can feed 10-15 hungry little mouths, I’d say that’s a steal! Also, I don’t care what anyone says, a boxed cake is the best cake, do you agree?? They always come out perfect and light!

 

Halloween Graveyard Cake

Ingredient List

Chocolate Cake Mix

Chocolate Frosting

Cookie Decorating frosting

Milano cookies

Grasshopper Cookies

Candy pumpkins

Gummie worms

Glass Baking Dish

How To:

  1. Bake the cake according to directions in a clear glass baking dish
  2. frost the cake with chocolate frosting
  3. Take a couple handfuls of grasshopper cookies and place them in a ziploc bag. Hammer away at those puppies to make “dirt”.
  4. Spread the dirt around on the frosted cake.
  5. Decorate the milano cookies with frosting to they look like gravestones, and use the same frosting to put eyes on your marshmallows
  6. Place candy pumpkins, milano cookies, marshmallows and gummy works around on your cake

That’s it!! Easiest and cutest halloween cake everrr and I’m telling you the kids seriously LOVE it!!

SHOP THE POST

I love that Walmart is a one-stop-shop with the best deals around for making my life easy. Walmart had everything we needed from the cake mix to the candy pumpkins and I had been wanting a glass baking dish so I ordered one online to come in with our ingredients. We even picked up some candy for trick or treaters and some last minute halloween decor because the prices were so good! Have so much fun with your cake and don’t forget to tag @purejoyhome when you share it on social!!

*thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post.

We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican ad We’re currently in Phase 1 of our Costa Rican adventure. This is the two week decompression period where we train our bodies and minds to slow down (this is more for me than anyone else), and let me tell you, I’m lapping it up.  We’re spending all day outside at the beach, going to bed early, eating lots of fresh fruit and healthy foods, swimming in the ocean, I’m working out and meditating in the mornings, and having fun together. For someone who is usually always in high gear, this part is my gift to myself 🐚 

We are staying at a beautiful place in papagayo with @exclusiveresorts and it feels very luxurious and restorative. 

The kids are already thriving. Being together 24/7 comes with its arguments and fights but they are learning how to just be with each other and with their crazy little brother. They’re helping a lot with him, learning a little Spanish, surfing, writing in their journals, and meeting kids from all over the world who are staying here as well. 

I’m letting us get pampered for this phase, and it feels really good. 

Thanks for coming along, I hope your year is off to an amazing start! Is there anything specific you’d like me to share about while we’re in this phase? I was thinking about sharing my morning workouts and meditations, but let me know!
Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app Recently, I downloaded the Melissa Wood health app @melissawoodtepperberg @melissawoodhealth and so far I’m loving the workouts. I try and do one every morning. They’re super quick so sometimes I do two. I like that they are gentle but hard. They incorporate a lots of yoga, pilates, breathing, stretching, balancing and all that good stuff. You can see from the videos I’m pretty shaky in the first couple clips, that balance is tough but I’m building up my strength, I can feel it 💪🏻
