Bet on a mortal coffin
If the decoration in sugar paste, piping bag, or other, is not our strong point, in this case, we can bet on a cake in the shape of a coffin. The technique? Simply bake your cake batter in a rectangular mold before giving your baked cake a coffin shape, cover (optionally) with chocolate icing, and draw a well-placed cross with royal icing. Simple and effective!
Create a restful cemetery
How to transform a simple cake into a cemetery? Easy, just write a few chocolate inscriptions using a cone or a pastry pen on cat’s tongues, before planting them in a cake covered with icing. And to simulate the imminent arrival of zombies, we can also add a few “piles” of cake crumbs which will represent earth. All that remains is to integrate plastic skeleton arms and/or skulls into its scenography, so that the illusion is perfect.

Shuddering in front of a tribe of ghosts
For a stunning decor, think of French meringue, simply prepared with egg whites and icing sugar. Then all that remains is to slip it into a piping bag fitted with a smooth nozzle, before forming nice ghosts all the way up, and creating or not, some sort of bulges by playing with the piping. Once the meringues are cooked, decorate them using a food pen, and place them on any cake.
