Instructions

  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  9. Use fondant to create Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie, and other decor from the film for a spooky effect.
  10. Serve at your themed party and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If decorated with fondant, refrigerate if necessary, but let come to room temperature before serving.
