Notes: This recipe came with a cakelet pan I bought. The pan makes six miniature cakes shaped like skulls. They’re so much fun for Halloween! I gave them out to my neighbors and they thanked me with a note and a bag of edible “googly” eyes for a future batch. They’re delicious on their own but you can glaze or decorate them however you like. The website for the pan suggested decorating them like sugar skulls which looks really cool, but possibly beyond my artistic abilities. The pan is available on Amazon from Nordicware. Of course, you don’t have to make skulls, you can use any pan designed for small Bundt cakes or muffins.
