Make Halloween Dessert Plate

An empty plate sits in the center of Make Halloween Dessert Plate, with a short row of dessert bases like a cupcake, a slice of cake, and a cookie stack off to one side. Choosing a base first sets the whole plate's shape, since icing and toppers snap to wherever that base sits.

Toppings break into icing colors, candy pieces like eyeballs and gummy worms, cookie shapes cut into bats and tombstones, and a garnish row of sprinkles and edible glitter. Icing goes down first and everything else sticks on top of it, so a swirl of black or orange icing acts as the glue for the rest of the plate.

This one trades a character for a plate, which makes it closer to a dessert decorating game than a typical makeover, and a round ends with the finished plate framed for a photo instead of a runway walk. There is no outfit to check afterward, just how the plate looks from above.

Orange against black is the easiest contrast to land, so leaning on that pair before adding smaller garnish keeps the plate readable. Icing the base before placing candy pieces stops them from sliding around once the plate is done, and leaving a little empty plate showing around the edges keeps a crowded topping row from looking messy.
