Step 1: Preheat the oven

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

Step 2: Prepare the cookie dough

Prepare 500 g of FunCakes Mix for Cookies with 150 g of butter and 1 egg according to the instructions on the package. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Step 3: Rol and cut out

Knead the chilled dough well and roll it out on a work surface dusted with Magic Roll-Out Powder to a thickness of 2–3 mm. Use the cookie cutter to cut out ghost shapes.

Step 4: Bake the cookies

Place the cookies slightly apart on a baking tray and bake them for 9-12 minutes until fully baked. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.

Step 4: Decorate the cookies

Heat the apricot jam in the microwave and press it through a sieve using the back of a spoon. This will create a smooth apricot glaze to stick the fondant to the cookies.

Knead the sugar paste until smooth and pliable, then roll it out thinly on a work surface dusted with icing sugar. Cut out the same number of ghost shapes as you have cookies and attach them to the cookies using the apricot glaze.

Create a flowing effect in the ghosts' robes by using the flute/vein tool to draw lines from top to bottom.

Knead the coloured sugar paste until smooth and cut out blossom flowers in different colours. Attach the flowers to the ghosts with edible glue. For the glasses, use a slightly larger flower and flatten a small ball of black fondant into the centre. Attach this to the ghosts as well. Finally, use an edible pen to draw the eyes, mouths and details on the glasses.
