FRANKENSTEIN SNACK CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a square 9x9 baking pan. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and milk until pale in color.
• In a third bowl, whip egg white to medium-stiff peaks.
• Add dry flour mixture to yolk mixture. Fold to combine. Then add whipped eggs in three additions. Gently fold to incorporate egg whites.
• Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread batter into an even layer. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and run an offset spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Let cool completely.
• Use a knife, wet with warm water, to cut the cake into 3 inch squares.
• Decorate with icing for hair and stitches, add sprinkles and candies for bolts and eyes.

FRANKENSTEIN CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with deep muffin cases. Cream the butter with the sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the remaining cake ingredients and beat until smooth. Spoon into the muffin cases and bake for 20 mins or until golden and a skewer inserted into one of the middle cakes comes out clean. Cool for 5 mins in the tin, then completely on a wire rack.
• Using a small, sharp serrated knife, cut a semi-circle piece of cake from the left and right of each cake, to make stepped edges, level with the cupcake case. Next, make a widthways cut about 3cm from the top of the cake, about 1cm deep. Slice a 5mm piece off the surface of the cake to meet this cut, to make a flat, raised face and prominent forehead. Chill for 10 mins to firm the crumbs.
• Mix the icing sugar, milk and green colouring to make a very thick icing that flows slowly from the spoon. Spoon 1 tbsp onto a cake and let it begin to spread itself over the cut shape. Ease it here and there with a palette knife to coat. Add marshmallow neck bolts and eyes. Repeat for each cupcake. Leave to set, then pipe on the faces and hair.

BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray two 9x5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Make cake batter as directed on box; pour into pans. Bake 32 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Trim about 1/4 inch off top of each cake to level. On long serving platter (at least 18 inches), place cakes bottom sides up to make long rectangle.
• In small bowl, mix 1/3 cup of the frosting and the green food color until well blended. Frost one-fourth of cake (top and sides) with green frosting for face. Frost remaining cake with remaining white frosting.
• Using ribbon tips on decorating icing cans, draw alternating white and blue lines, beginning at edge of green frosting, to far end of cake.
• Place 1 green gumdrop on each side of face for ears and 1 for nose. For eyes, press white gumdrops, small ends down, on face. Use decorating gels for eye pupils, eye lashes, nose and lips. Store loosely covered.
