Have some fun on the spookiest day of the year with these Halloween recipes! You can even go all out with a witches and wizards party.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

Step 2

Use an electric mixer to beat the butter, sugar and golden syrup until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and beat until just combined. Add flour, ginger, cinnamon and cloves and stir to combine. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.

Step 3

Divide dough into 2 even portions. Roll a portion out on a lightly floured surface to a 5mm-thick disc. Use an 8cm-diameter round pastry cutter to cut discs from the pastry. Use a small sharp knife to cut a small 1cm wedges from 2 opposite sides of a disc to create a pumpkin shape. Use your fingers to gently smooth and round the edges. Place in the fridge to rest.

Step 4

Roll remaining dough out to a 5mm-thick disc. Use the top half of a gingerbread man cutter to cut the head and arms from the disc. Use a small sharp knife to cut the bottom half into a ghost shape. Place on the remaining tray. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 6

To make the royal icing, place the egg white and lemon juice in a small bowl. Gradually add the icing sugar to form a smooth paste. Divide the icing into 2 even portions. Tint a portion using the orange colouring. Spread the icing evenly over each of the pumpkin shapes. Use a small sharp knife to trim the licorice strap into small triangles to create eyes and mouth. Attach to biscuits. Cut sour strap into 1mm-thick strips, wrap around a skewer to create a vine. Attach to the top of each pumpkin. Set aside to set.

Step 7

Spread the white icing evenly over the ghost cookies. Pipe chocolate gel onto the ghosts to create eyes. Sprinkle evenly with glitter to create a shimmer. Set aside to set completely.

Ingredients

For the red velvet cake

175g soft butter, plus extra for greasing

225g white caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 large eggs, at room temperature

1 tbsp red food colouring paste (we used Christmas red from Sugarflair)

200g plain flour

50g cocoa powder (we used Green & Black's)

1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda


½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

150g pot low-fat plain yogurt, loosened with 2 tbsp milk

For the fingers and frosting

about 3 x 114g boxes white chocolate fingers (we found them in Tesco)

140g icing sugar

2 tsp milk

small blob of red food colouring paste

100g soft butter

300g full-fat cream cheese, fridge cold (we used Philadelphia as it has the firmest texture)

zest 1 orange (optional)

Method

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. For the cake, grease 2 x 20cm sandwich tins and line the bases with baking parchment. Cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla, then add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg, until fluffy and light. Beat in the colouring.

Mix the dry ingredients for the cake, and sift half onto the creamed mix. Fold 
in with a spatula, followed by half of the thinned yogurt. Repeat, then spoon the smooth batter into the tins and level.
 Bake for 25 mins or until risen and springy when pressed lightly in the centre. Cool for 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

For the fingers, line a baking tray with parchment. Cut one end from each chocolate finger. Mix 50g icing sugar, the milk and a small blob of colouring to make a thick, red icing. The icing needs to be thick to stay put; add a little more sugar if you need to. Dip the severed biscuit ends into the icing, let the excess drip off, then paint a red fingernail on the other end, using a small paintbrush. Leave to dry on the parchment.


For the frosting, use an electric mixer to beat the butter well until very smooth, then beat in the cream cheese and the zest (if using) until even. Sift in the remaining icing sugar, then fold it into the cheese mixture using a spatula until smooth. Don’t overbeat. Chill until needed.

Sandwich and cover the top and sides
 of the cake with the frosting – you will only need a thin layer on the sides of the cake to stick on the chocolate fingers. Stand the severed fingers around the cake in a neat collar, pressing them lightly into the frosting. You’ll have a few left over to put on the top. Keep the cake in the fridge but enjoy it at room temperature.
