Horror Cake (for kids!)

To make a hairy, scary cake . . .

you have to find a pot

and fill it full of horror things

you do not like a lot. You put in worms and slug tails

and bees’ eyes and bat’s nose

and mix it up together

then throw in squirrel’s toes. At the squelchy end of baking,

you’ve made a ‘horror cake’

to scare your mum and dad because

it wriggles on the plate!
