Halloween cake walk

This year Lucy's class was in charge of the cake walk at the Halloween carnival so we made a cake to donate.
We made a chocolate cake (box with added egg and 1 cup sour cream, and milk instead of water) and frosted it with chocolate frosting.
Patti's Chocolate Frosting:
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup softened butter
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla3 1/2 cup powdered sugar 
We used pretzels for the fence, Milano cookies for the tombstones, crushed Oreos for the "fresh gravesites", and fondant ghosts (rolled thin, cut out with a round cookie cutter or glass, and a face piped on with black frosting) draped over suckers.
We even dug out a grave and added bones inside. This was really fun to make!

Earlier today I helped Wyatt's class make sugar cookies. These are the "example" cookies of what they could do. 
They had so much fun!
