Well, I didn't have the time to try several cake recipes ("chocolate" and "moist" were what I had to go on), so I decided to be lazy and make a brownie cake. Two 13x9 layers of fudge brownies with chocolate chips mixed in, "glued" together with some intense chocolate icing (although not terrible, I would probably not use that recipe again), and then some funky Halloween frosting that was actually kind of scary, because it was more the color of salmon paper than a true Halloween orange. With the nifty little bats and sprinkles all over the frosting. And we used up some leftover Halloween candy to make it a "bar" cake. Arthur's father made a banner to go with this that said "But can you pass the chocolate bar?" We had problems finding paper plates that didn't have big pink flowers on them (and we all know *just* *how* *fluffy* Colin is!) and so were toying with the idea of getting the Barbie ones 'cause, well, they were the only ones we could find that had "BAR" on them.
He owes Beth a big THANKS for saving him from such a fate ;)

Needless to say, you can now understand why FJ!! was afraid it would kill people.

I still say this cake had nuthin' on one of Shirley's.
