White Ghost Cake!

“A generous amount of frosting – swirled on to look like ghostly capes — makes a hauntingly cool impact on a basic cake. Dollop on a generous swirl of whipped topping to form ghost bodies, then add dots of black icing to serve as curious eyes. Add black and orange sprinkles or colored sugar for even more of a Halloween touch to this ghastly ghost cake.”
