Step 1: Make the dough

Prepare 500 g FunCakes Cookie Mix as indicated on the packaging. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2: Roll and cut out

Knead the chilled dough briefly until smooth and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 2–3 mm. Use the Wilton cutters to cut out your desired Halloween shapes and place them on the baking tray.

Step 3: Bake the cookies

Bake the cookies for 8–12 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Let them cool flat on the countertop.

Step 4: Prepare the apricot glaze

Warm apricot jam in the microwave and strain it through a sieve. This glaze will be used to stick the fondant onto the cookies.

Step 5: Color and roll the fondant

Divide the fondant into portions and color with icing colors. Knead the fondant until smooth, roll it out to approx. 2 mm thick, and cut out the same shapes as the cookies. For a 3D effect, roll the fondant slightly thicker, cover with plastic wrap, and then cut out the shapes.

Spread a thin layer of apricot glaze on the cookies and attach the fondant.

Step 6: Decorate

Create the large pumpkins with a 3D effect. Add grooves using the PME Modelling Tool Quilting. Make a stem from brown fondant and create leaves and curls from green fondant. For the curls, roll thin strips, wrap them around the handle of a brush, and gently remove. Attach everything with edible glue.

Cut out the bat and ghost in 3D and add grooves with the Quilting Tool. Make eyes from black fondant for the ghost and a purple bow, attaching with edible glue.

Use the black food pen to give the cat stripes and a nose.

Make a red cross on the spiders using thin strips of red fondant. Cut into small pieces and attach with edible glue.

Storage tip

If you have leftover cookie dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze (max. 3 months). Thaw in the refrigerator and use as described above.
