A couple of weeks before our trip out to see Deejo's family, I saw a cute reel on FB and sent it to Mrs. Deejo, thinking we could have a good time with her skull pans. She's always up for a baking adventure.
 |
| Look at how cute these are! |
I bought everything we needed, and on Labor Day, we chose not to leave the house, instead opting for a movie day. Making the skull cakes was the perfect edible craft for a movie day.
 |
| We might have overfilled the molds a touch. No worry, we'll just cut them flush with the pan. |
 |
| Honestly? I would have eaten them just like this :) |
 |
| We blended the cherry pie mix so it would be slightly less chunky. |
 |
| The white chocolate was trickier than we'd anticipated - it kept running back down the mold and pooling in the bottom. |
 |
| To solve the problem, Mrs. Deejo brushed on the white chocolate, and I slammed the heads in as quickly as possible. |
 |
| We filled the tops of the skulls with the "brains", then put the backs on and covered them with more white chocolate. |
After they were assembled, we popped them into the fridge for the white chocolate to harden, and went back to watch another movie.
 |
| Removing them from the molds was tricky. I'm not sure how the lady in the video did it with metal pans. |
 |
| Success? Maybe. |
 |
| I'm not sure if this is really a Pintrest fail, or if it's a really good "nailed it". They're definitely decrepit looking skulls. |
 |
| BRAINS!! |
 |
| The jaws made me giggle. The detail was astounding. |
Despite them looking terrible, they were tasty and we enjoyed them. There was lots of laughter while making them, and even more laughter while trying to remove them from the molds with the help of Jay and Deejo.
