Put a funny saying on your cake like:
"Here lies the remains of my waist"

Adding the year to your cake will help you to remember that particular Halloween years later when you are showing pictures to your grandchildren.

Cake Instructions:

Supplies Needed:
13x9 inch cake pan
2 boxes cake mix
2 cans frosting(1 chocolate, 1 vanilla)
1 tube black gel frosting

Piece of plastic wrap

Bake Cake according to instructions. Let Cool.

Round the corners of one end of the cake.
Frost the cake with the white frosting.
Place some of the chocolate frosting onto a plate.
Crumple up the plastic wrap and dab it into the chocolate frosting.
Dab the frosting coated plastic wrap on the tombstone swirling and sliding it to mix the two colors together. (this gives the tombstone an old look)

Write your message onto the tombstone cake using the black gel frosting.

Fun Tips

Use shredded coconut that has been tinted with green food coloring to resemble grass for the base of your tombstone.

To help eliminate crumbling on the cut edges of your cake, put the cake into your freezer for a few minutes before frosting it.

Make a few ghosts out of white construction paper, set them so they are peeking out from behind the tombstone.
