Autumn Event "Halloween" ♡
It has suddenly gotten cold over the past week, and the autumn season is in full swing.*
The decorations at shops and flower stores have changed to Halloween-themed, with lots of pumpkin lanterns and festive Halloween treats displayed on the shelves.♩
Halloween is a festival that originated from the Celts, celebrating the autumn harvest while welcoming the spirits of ancestors and driving away evil spirits.
In Japan, there may be few people who actively throw parties, but enjoying seasonal events is a wonderful thing.*
Just adding a little Halloween element with small decorations or in everyday dishes can brighten up daily life.♡
【Easy】Cute Marshmallow Ghosts ♡
That said,
incorporating
"Halloween-themed decorations"
and
"Halloween-themed dishes"
all at once can be challenging.
Therefore, I suggest a very easy "Halloween treat."
By simply making a small change to the sweets you usually prepare, you can transform them into Halloween-themed treats: 【Marshmallow Ghosts】!♡
The pure white marshmallows are designed to look like ghosts, and don't you think they are super cute? ♡
The way to make them is just to stick marshmallows onto cupcakes or chocolate cakes (while they are hot!).
The marshmallows will melt slightly due to the heat, creating a ghost-like appearance.♡
Once they are attached, use chocolate pens or similar to draw faces, and you're done!*
You can also make marshmallow ghosts using commercially available sweets. Just bake the cake in the oven for a bit and place the marshmallows on top.♩
