18. Cheesecloth Ghost Cake Toppers
Take your Halloween baking to the next level with delicate, food-safe ghost cake toppers. Using wooden skewers as the support stands and small fondant balls as the head molds, drape clean, sugar-water-stiffened cheesecloth over the skewers. Once dry, these miniature ghosts can be easily poked into the top of a chocolate cake or individual cupcakes. The sheer, airy fabric looks incredibly elegant standing atop dark frosting, turning a simple homemade dessert into a stunning, professional-looking Halloween centerpiece.
