To do this you need lots of ingredients
First you need a large sponge cake
I made one using the recipe described on downsizer.net
My roasting tin which is 36cm by 26cm and about 5cm deep took a 9 egg version of the above sponge mix which I made chocolate flavour. I used a roasting tin as to achieve a sensible effect with the graves the cake needed to be quite deep. When filled the tin was half to 2/3rds full and it took 1hr to cook at 180/gas mark 4. As the article says this can vary from oven to oven so I would start checking it after about 45-50minutes. When cooked it should stop making noise and a stick/knife should come out relatively clean.
You also need
Icing
100-150g butter
100-150g Icing sugar
Green food colouring
Decorations
Digestive biscuits crushed to replicate gravel
Gravestone shaped biscuits
Pink Wafer biscuits
Jelly Babies
Jelly worms
Marshmallow ghosts
Red Jam
Candy sticks to replicate bones
Chocolate mice
mushroom sweets
Supercook writing icing (You get 4 colours in small tubes for about £2 you could achieve the same effect with coloured icing and piping bags)
Cocktail sticks
