My daughter, Abby, asked me to make a cake for my granddaughter's school bake sale. Since it is October, a Halloween theme seemed like a good idea. I started out with a plan to make a scary haunted house, but cuteness just won out. Modeling chocolate pumpkins, a fondant toad, and some blackeyed susans decorated a pound cake pumpkin house with a chocolate cake, chocolate frosting and chocolate crumb yard, because we all know Halloween without gobs of chocolate is just unthinkable!
