Method:

Bake cake agreeing to container directions or recipe. Let cool completely.Spread frosting evenly over terminated cake.

Using gel frostings, write silly spooky sayings on the top half of the Milano cookies such as "Rip", "Boo", "B.A. Ghoul", "M.T. Tomb", "Justin Time", and "Yul B. Next".

Press the cookies halfway down into the cake here and there to look as if standing tombstones.

Arrange the ghost marshmallows and candies around the tombstones.

Top with colored sprinkles or sugars.

Serves 8-12.

Options:

You can use other cake flavors, if you pair them with a complementary cookie topping. For example, if you use a pumpkin flavored cake, you might want to use vanilla frosting and crushed gingersnaps.

If you can't find marshmallow ghosts with the Halloween candy in your local store, you could use dollops of whipped cream instead. Remember they should be piped on just before serving, or keep the cake chilled to preclude the ghosts from sagging.

Add a couple of mini chocolate chip eyes to each whipped cream ghost.

Variation:

Make individual ghost or tombstone cupcakes.
