Bake 32 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Trim about 1/4 inch off top of each cake to level. On long serving platter (at least 18 inches), place cakes bottom sides up to make long rectangle.
• In small bowl, mix 1/3 cup of the frosting and the green food color until well blended. Frost one-fourth of cake (top and sides) with green frosting for face. Frost remaining cake with remaining white frosting.
• Using ribbon tips on decorating icing cans, draw alternating white and blue lines, beginning at edge of green frosting, to far end of cake.

FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER HALLOWEEN CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 and lightly grease and line an 8x8 square baking tin.
• In a stand mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, salt, sugar, baking powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each; the mixture may look slightly curdled/grainy. After adding the final egg, beat at high speed for 3 minutes. After all the eggs are incorporated, fold in the milk.
• Sift in the flour and fold in gently, being careful not to overmix. At this stage, the batter will be thick but still pourable. Color the batter your desired shade of green and then spoon into the tin, leveling the top.
• Bake at 300 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once the cake is completely cooled, trim any caramelization off the sides and bottom and level the cake. Cut into 9 equal squares.
• Melt 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Melt in 10 second increments, stirring after each one, until smooth. Add the melted chocolate to a disposable piping bag.
• Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave in 10 second increments stirring well in between each one until melted. Be careful because white chocolate overheats and seizes VERY easily. Do this part slowly. Color it green to match your cake.
• Dip a lollipop stick into the green chocolate then insert into the cake pops and allow them to set until firm. You can speed this process along by sticking them in the freezer for 5 minutes.
• Then, take some unmelted white chocolate chips, turn them upside down and press them into the cake squares to make the base of the eyes. Pipe a circle of dark chocolate on top to finish the eyes.
• Pipe the mouth and hair with the rest of the melted dark chocolate, allow to set for 15 minutes.
• Serve and enjoy!

FRANKENSTEIN CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease or line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Mix cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil together in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Fill muffin cups with batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 19 to 23 minutes. Cool cupcakes in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
• Beat shortening and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth; add vanilla extract and mix well. Beat confectioners' sugar, alternating with milk, into butter-shortening mixture until frosting is stiff and holds its shape; mix in green food coloring until desired color is reached.
• Fill a piping bag, or large resealable freezer bag with a corner snipped, with frosting. Pipe frosting around the top half perimeter and top of each cupcake creating the "head" and "face"; smooth out the frosting using a small spatula, flattening the top into a square-shape for the top of his "head."
• Pour chocolate sprinkles into a shallow bowl and dip the top of each cupcake into the sprinkles, slightly angling the cupcake to get sprinkles around the uppermost top side of the "head" for the "hair."
• Press 2 dark brown chocolate pieces on the sides of each cupcake creating the "bolts." Press 2 blue chocolate pieces into the top front of each cupcake creating the "eyes." Put a dot of black food gel in the center of each blue candy for the "pupil." Make a "stitch" onto the "face" using the red food gel.

FRANKENSTEIN ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Put ice cream in the refrigerator to soften while you make whipped cream frosting.
• Beat cream in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks almost form. Add white sugar, whipped cream stabilizer, vanilla extract, and green food coloring to whipped cream; beat until stiff peaks form.
• Scoop softened ice cream into a large bowl; stir until a uniform consistency is reached. The ice cream shouldn't be completely melted, but firm enough to hold form. Scoop ice cream into the loaf pan and spread evenly using a spatula, trying to avoid creating air bubbles.
• Mix crushed cookies and melted butter together in a bowl. Pat cookie mixture the ice cream for the "hair"; freeze for 5 hours. Run a knife along the edges of the pan and carefully flip it upside-down over a cake platter. Return cake to the freezer until firm, at least 30 minutes.
• Spread whipped cream evenly over the top and sides of cake. Freeze cake until solid, about 1 hour more.
• Spoon hot fudge sauce onto the cake creating "eyes", a "mouth", and "hairline"; top hot fudge areas with sprinkles. Place 1 cookie on each side of the bottom of the cake for the "neck bolts". Freeze cake until ready to eat.
