A cake, your choice of flavor.
Frosting, your choice of flavor, enough to cover the cake.

You can use commercial fondant to make this cake or you can make your own.

You can find my favorite recipe for fondant at How To Make Decorating Fondant for Cakes including variations such as chocolate fondant and colored fondant.

Roll out the white fondant and cut out nine skulls with a craft knife using the paper template. To prevent sticking and to make the knife slide more easily through the fondant, spray the blade with non-stick cooking spray and wipe it gently on a paper towel between cut outs.

Use a well-greased metal spatula to gently transfer the fondant decorations to a piece of wax paper and set them aside until ready to use.

Roll out the lime green fondant and cut out four hearts and six bows with a craft knife using the paper template.

Set these aside on wax paper until ready to use.

Attach the bows to the fondant skulls using a drop of water.

Moisten the "face" of a hoodie cut out with water then gently lay a skull with a green bow on top as pictured. The water will glue it together. Allow all of the pieces to dry for an hour or so for easier handling.

Put the cake on whatever serving dish or carrying container you will be using. To keep it from moving around, put a dab of frosting on the plate before setting the cake on it.

Frost the cake with a thin layer of frosting (traditional buttercream, ganache, etc.) on top and sides.

Roll out the chocolate fondant and cover the cake, gently smoothing it down with your hands. Use a knife or pizza cutter to remove any excess fondant.
