Prepare the Cake

• Start with your favorite store-bought chocolate cake as the base. Keep it chilled until you’re ready to decorate for a clean look.

Melt the White Chocolate

• Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.

Make the Ghosts

• Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper.
• Using a spoon, create ghost shapes with the melted white chocolate — think teardrop or oval shapes with a little “tail” at the top.
• Let them set completely (you can pop them in the fridge for 5–10 minutes to speed this up).

Add Ghost Faces

• Once the white chocolate ghosts are hardened, use the black decorating gel to add two eyes and a mouth to each ghost.
• Let them dry for a few minutes so the faces set.

Assemble the Cake

• Place the ghosts gently on top of the cake and around the sides for a spooky but cute look.

Serve and enjoy!
