I often have cake on my mind. But sometimes I have my mind on cake. Or at least a JELL-O mind on top of my cake!
With a simple brain mold, we added a JELL-O brain to the top of a cake. My daughter loved this project. It turns out a Jell-O brain is quite the hit! It was easy to make and is just one of the Halloween ideas I found over at Kraft Foods. We went with simple strawberry Jell-O and the mold.
And we put our Jell-O Brain on top of a cake that I frosted with white frosting and then dripped a little extra red frosting over. SO simple. Use any cake recipe that you like! This is a great way to turn a rather plain dessert into a perfect party table centerpiece.
The cute Halloween Subway art in the photo is from Eighteen 25.
This would be so much fun at a Halloween party.

The brain cake looks amazing! That would be an awesome addition to my daughter’s Halloween party at school. And the marshmellows wouldn’t last long at our house 🙂

I need a non-scary treat for my 3-year-old. I’d use the Jelllo to make jigglers in pumpkin shapes.

I’d dip the Oreos in chocolate or orange candy coating and put Halloween sprinkles on top, or make chocolate-dipped Oreo pops!

Might be boring, but I’m still a fan of good old Kraft mac&cheese

So I am finding out on Thursday if I have to have brain surgery, I am thinking making a brain cake right now would be only fitting 😉
