of the cake without the filling, fruit/jam over the half with the icing. That's the cake

Place on a square board in the middle. The board can be made out of cardboard with cooking paper stuck firmly over the top or it can be a kitchen or other cake board

For icing

8 tablespoons of corn flour, 4 tablespoons of margarine or other vegan spread, 1 -2 tablespoons of fruit sugar or brown sugar, teaspoon of vanilla essence

Add the corn flour and 1 tablespoon of sugar to a medium size bowl and make a small hole in the center.
Add the vanilla essence and then the spread bit by bit mixing all the time until smooth.
Leave 1- 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture without the carob added to the side
Melt the next carob bar like before and start by adding to your icing mix. Taste and add more carob and vanilla essence if you want.

Decorating the cake

Spread a thin layer of icing with the carob all around your cake so it covers it.
For the ghost shapes, graveyard shapes, windows and doors buy some cheap vegan biscuits. soft ones are better for cutting. Try to find ones which are lighter in color than your cake. Get a pack of smarties, jelly beans or other colored candy as well.

Cut out some ghost shapes, grave signs like crosses, small grave boxes, small squares for 4 windows (use 6 separate pieces for each window) and 1 rectangle for the door (use 6 pieces again). For the chimney cut 2 small sponge pieces again.
Add 4 windows and a door (with a small piece of candy for the door knob)
Add some icing carob icing to the board around your house. If you have any butter filling left you can add this as well around the sides of the house or around the board.
Add on your biscuit creations to the square board use ghosts, graves with crosses, and anything else creative you want.
For effect you could add some smarties, jelly beans or other colored candy around the edges of the board and also as some stepping stones leading up to the house.
Use the white filling you kept to the side to drawn lines around the windows or doors and chimney. Also around the graves for effect.
If you want to get really creative write RIP with the white icing mix on the grave

That's it and for the rest use your imagination.
A simple haunted house cake.
