Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the chocolate cake according to the instructions on the box. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding to the next step.
-
Once the cake has cooled, trim the top to create a flat surface. Cut the cake in half horizontally to create two layers.
-
Spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top of one of the cake layers. Place the second layer on top.
-
Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining chocolate frosting, creating a smooth finish.
-
Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. The crushed cookies will resemble dirt.
-
Sprinkle the crushed cookies over the top of the frosted cake, covering the surface completely to create a 'dirt' effect.
-
Using your creativity, arrange the gummy worms, candy bones, and edible eyeballs on top of the cake to create a spooky graveyard scene. You can place the gummy worms as if they are crawling out of the 'dirt,' scatter the candy bones around, and position the eyeballs strategically for a creepy touch.
-
For an added touch, you can use a small headstone-shaped cookie or create your own out of fondant or black icing to place in the graveyard.
-
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
