Wooden spoon for mixing Greaseproof paper / parchment Preheat oven to 1900C / 3750F Method: 1. Make up the packet sponge according to the instructions and divide into 2 separate bowls and add black food colouring - optional. 2. Line the baking tray with greaseproof paper / parchment. This is important as it makes lifting the sponge out of the tin much easier and less prone to breaking. 3. Pour in your batter and bake in the oven according to instructions. Leave to cool. 4. Once cool, use a flat edged knife to loosen the sides of the sponge from the tin, and lift out using the parchment. Leave the sponge on the parchment, then proceed to cut into 4 equal portions lengthwise. 5. Remove one sponge piece at a time to decorate, leaving the remainder of the sponge attached to the parchment. How to draw an easy simple skeleton Step 1 - Place the chocolate skull cake topper at the very top of the sponge piece Step 2 - Using the writing icing / gel pen, draw one vertical line from the base of the skull to a little less than the half way point of the sponge piece. Add 3 horizontal lines crossing the vertical line, decreasing in length as they move down the sponge, to represent the ribcage. Step 3 - Starting at each end of the top / longest horizontal line, draw 2 angled downward lines. These should end just below the bottom of the 'ribcage' and represent the arms. Step 4 - At the bottom of the 'ribcage', draw a small oblong shape to represent the pelvis, then 2 further vertical lines from the pelvis to the bottom of the sponge to represent the legs, with a further 2 horizontal flicks at the bottom of the lines to represent the feet.
