    Does anyone have any ideas for cooking/baking activities? Any tried and tested recipes you would like to share?

    hi I havent tried these I saved it from last year hth :
    Makes 12 ghosts
    Ready in: 30 minutes
    Ingredients:

    Flour for rolling
    600g/1lb 5oz Ready-to-Roll icing
    24 Marshmallows
    Food colouring pens
    Method:
    Dust a board and rolling pin with corn flour and roll the icing out until it’s the thickness of a pound coin. Cut into 11cm/4½ inch rounds. Stack the marshmallows on top of each other in pairs and drape a round of icing over each stack to make a ghost. Draw a face on each with the food colouring pens.

    for easy ghosts use gingerbread man cutter, with a basic biscuit dough to make shape, but cut off the legs then dip into melted white chocolate and decorate face with whatever you want, sweets, dried fruits, cake decorations etc.
