Affordable Halloween Dessert.... Bloody Finger Cake

Over the years our family Halloween decorations have gone from simple smiling paper pumpkins in the windows to cute little ceramic ghosts when the children were little to a more gory, adult themed decor style as the kids became teenagers and started to accompany me to the party and Halloween stores. Considering I don't particularly care for or about Halloween, it's really for them that our house is decorated and I make Halloween themed cakes and cookies.

This year a simple addition of a package of realistic looking bloody severed fingers was the perfect cheap decoration I needed to pull off a great cake.

While shopping with my college aged daughter we
picked up a package of these 'fingers' for about $4.39
at our local store. I found them on Amazon for about $7.99.

Adding the fingers to the top of a homemade layer cake
and throwing in a couple black plastic spiders we already owned
we had a really cool Halloween dessert!

The fingers are plastic - not candles
so they can be washed and reused next year!

What a fun dessert for a party for older teens or adults!
