Allergy Friendly Halloween Food Art

Hi again! Sometimes, you don't get to join in on fun food adventures if you have food allergies so today I made Halloween food art. Here are some examples:-

Halloween Cake

We baked the vegan chocolate cake that I have blogged about before. Here is a link to the recipe.

We used black blackcurrant icing and put it on the cake, all over the top of it. We then used green rolled icing and made it into a Frankenstein face. Next, we placed this on top of the blackcurrant icing. I used squeezy icing gel to make his face look mean. Finally, you can put marshmallow pumpkins, and Halloween sprinkles on and around the cake. If you are making the coloured icing yourself, please remember that gel colours give the strongest colours. If you use ordinary food colouring they are more likely to be made with natural things, but will be paler colours.

Violent Veggies

You can make pictures out of your vegetables. You could use strips of vegetables to make a skeleton, or you could use orange and green vegetables to make a pumpkin. There are lots of kinds of Halloween pictures you could create, like spiders and spider webs or even a witch!

Monstrous Marshmallows

My friend, Princess H, came over and we decorated about 20 marshmallows. We used the icing gel to make them into Halloween creatures. 

Spindly Spiderwebs 

Princess H and I made some spindly spiderwebs too. You can use strawberry laces to make the web, or you can buy strawberry peelers (by Fruit Bowl) and split those into the web strands. You can use raisins to make the spiders and maybe you could make a fly or two. You can also use black icing to do this. Whatever you prefer. You can decorate the bugs with writing icing tubes, if you want to.

I hope you have a fun and very happy Halloween!
