Halloween is almost here and I couldn’t resist making and decorating spooky cute snack cakes to get in the mood. I’ve been wanting to try one of my cake recipes to bake in these individual foil baking containers to see how many cakes it would yield. So I used my red velvet cake recipe (turned green, of course) for the mummy faces and then decorated them as simply as I could for a pretty fun and easy individual treat.
Green velvet cake batter. Not the most appealing in general, but it definitely works for this project. I like the green for these because it allows a hint of the color to show for the mummy faces. Now, if I were decorating these and covering the cake completely with frosting, I’d just stick with regular red velvet, you know.
The recipe yields four snack cakes using these cute containers. So… pretty good for gifting.
All baked and ready for their close up.
Sidenote: I’m happy to know my red velvet cake recipe will also make four little snack cakes. Happy to start planning for the holidays.
Now let’s decorate.
First up, frost a large portion of the bottom and top of the cake leaving the green cake exposed in the middle for the mummy’s face.
You can pipe a line of frosting to use as a border and then fill in the shape using an offset spatula for a smooth surface. You’ll get frosting on the edge of the container, but no worries – it will wipe off easily.
Once you have the top and bottom areas frosted, you’ll need some big eyes.
Oreos were the obvious choice. Carefully separate them and cross your fingers that they end up with all the creme center on one side of the cookie. If not, you may have to eat your way through enough until you get eight clean cookies and creme halves for the eyes. If there are a few small crumbs on them, just place the cookies in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to chill and then gently scrape any crumbs off.
Tada. Cookie eyes. And for the pupils, use some black M&M’s candies in place in different positions to finish off the look.
To give the vibe that the mummy is wrapped up, pipe frosting in parallel lines, going in different directions. Then use a separated cookie, cut in half for the mouth. Gently place in position while trying to tuck it underneath a piped buttercream line.
Tip: For the mouths, I used Oreo Dark Chocolate Thins, separated. These worked out really nicely, without adding extra thickness. And they separated much easier than regular Oreos. Next time I will have to try Original Flavor Oreo Thins to see if those also separate as nicely and if they do I would use those for the eyes.
Wrapped and ready to go.

The Christmas snowman cakes were a big hit with everyone.
What do you think about creating some that have a Thanksgiving theme? As a turkey?
Everyone LOVED the snowman cakes for Christmas.
Any thoughts on making some with a Thanksgiving theme? Like a turkey ?
So, so cute, I wish I had checked out your site a bit soon but….I now have more than a few ideas for both Thanksgiving. Little cake pan turkeys would be fun and of course, a Santa belly or maybe a snowman would be fun for Christmas.
I need to check in here more often.
That’s super cute and adorable! I would totally buy a personal mummy cake for Halloween if I saw one like that at the store. I can’t wait to see what else you do with those containers.
These are the greatest! How clever.
