Halloween Fun

We had some halloween fun this year.. as we always do, freaking people out with red food coloring. We made gingerbread cake cupcakes with cream cheese icing and sugar daggers, and shortbread witch fingers with almond/cashew nails. Very fun.

Gingerbread Cake:

4 ounces of fresh peeled and grated ginger

1 cup molasses

1 cup sugar

1 cup oil

1 cup water

2 eggs

Mix all of the above together, till smooth, then add:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons baking soda

Mix again till smooth, and divide in to cupcake liners in cupcake pans. This recipe will make about 40. Bake at 350F. The recipe will come out lovely and fluffy.
