I love this time of year, me and the boys we get a lot more creative. The boys really enjoyed making spiders so we extended this theme to cakes.
The boys love Sweet crafts – even more so as they don’t get regularly given sweets.
I simply cut up some blackcurrant laces, cut jelly beans in half and got some rainbow drops.
It was really good for the youngest’s fine motor skills.
We simply mixed some black food colouring into the icing to stick the sweets on.
A friendly one with a smile.
Even Daddy got involved – he thought that it should be a true representation with eight eyes – and some fangs.
We have talked about making more cakes. White icing can make ghosts, orange icing and we can make pumpkins.

I love this idea, so simple but they look great and would be fun to try it with other things! I suspect my boy would eat most of the decorations before they reached the cakes 🙂
