TIP: You can make the topping up a day before if you wish.
Making The Ghouls and Base:
- Preheat oven to 130c and line a baking tray with grease proof paper.
- Into a bowl, place the egg replacer, apple cider vinegar and water, whisk together for 5 minutes.
- Into another bowl sieve the icing sugar and stir in the soft light brown sugar.
- Gradually add the egg replacer mixture to the icing sugar bowl a spoonful at a time, make sure it is mixed in well before adding more.
- Whisk in the vanilla essence and continue to whisk for a further 5 minutes.
- Use half the mixture as the bases by dropping a spoonful of the mixture onto the baking tray, these can be as large or small as you want.
- With the other half, divide between 4 silicon cup cases.
- Cook in the oven for 2 hours, do not remove until cold, this is to dry them out completely.
- Keep in an airtight container until needed.
- Make up into ghosts by arranging the ghoul bases into ghost shapes.
- Place topping where desired and make faces with vegan jelly sweets.
