Halloween is my favorite holiday, because it\u2019s all about having fun. I love cutesie-spooky things and tend to shy away from the more realistic and gory side of the day. This is why I\u2019m going to ask you to come along with me and take some artistic liberties when it comes to skeletal accuracy. I typically love to research my topic ideas in order to work as accurately as possible. That was so not going to happen here. Googling animal skeletons? No thanks! I did my best. Lines and dots and hip blobs will have to do. As long as you leave an eye hole in your skull blob and add some ribs, the general idea comes across. Maybe these aren\u2019t actual animal skeletons? Maybe they\u2019re animals wearing skeleton costumes they bought online. It\u2019s Halloween, so anything goes!<\/p>\n

This cake also works for The Day of the Day,\u00a0Dia de los Muertos, because it definitely gives off a sugar skull vibe, minus the brightly colored detailing on the skeleton itself. While orange and purple sprinkles give this cake a pop of color, you could always add a small flower or scrollwork to make these animals more festive.<\/p>\n

If your low-key holiday doesn\u2019t require a full layer cake, just serve the skeleton cookies on their own or as cupcake toppers. These fun little critters would also be the perfect finishing touch to a creepy circus or haunted jungle cake. If you\u2019ve flipped through my book, Erin Bakes Cake<\/strong><\/a>, you may have already seen the rainbow unicorn version of this carousel.<\/p>\n
