Steps:
- Prepare ingredients Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 4-cup and 2-cup glass measuring cups. Prepare cake mix according to directions, but use buttermilk instead of water. Pour 2 cups batter into prepared 2-cup measuring cup. Pour remaining batter into 4-cup measuring cup. Bake until toothpicks inserted in center of cakes come out clean, about 45 minutes for smaller and 50 minutes for larger. Transfer to a rack and cool 10 minutes. Turn cakes out of cups and cool completely. Meanwhile, cut 1 marshmallow in half diagonally (you'll use only one half). Cut bread stick in half crosswise. Microwave 4 unwrapped vanilla chews until slightly softened, no more than 3 seconds. Press and knead chews together and roll out between 2 sheets parchment to a 3-by-2-inch triangle. Repeat process with 4 more chews. Soften remaining 10 chews the same way and roll out between parchment to a 5-inch equilateral triangle. Soften chocolate chews in microwave and roll out between parchment to ¹⁄8-inch thickness. Cut out 2 rounds for eyes and an amoeba shape for mouth. Trim bottoms of cakes with a serrated knife to make level. Put larger cake, trimmed side down, on a small cardboard circle. Spread some vanilla frosting on top. Put smaller cake on top of frosting, trimmed side down. Form ghost as shown below. Put decorating sugar in a very large bowl. Spread most of remaining frosting all over cake, including chew triangles. Press sugar over cake to coat completely. Put cake on a serving platter. Attach chocolate chew eyes and mouth with dabs of frosting. To slice and arrange cake (Also see illustration link in Cooks Note) Using frosting, stick 1 whole marshmallow, on its side, to top of cake. Stick halved marshmallow, cut edge up, on top. Insert bread sticks, cut side first, in either side of cake. Freeze cake until firm, at least 1 hour. Spread some frosting along base of cake. Press one edge of large vanilla chew triangle into base of cake, allowing a tip to trail behind. Drape 2 smaller triangles over bread sticks.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil and line the base of two 16cm (or smaller) sandwich tins and a 1.2L pudding basin. Mix the self-raising flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda and sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and beat in the golden syrup, eggs, oil and milk with an electric whisk, until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the pudding basin until it is ¾ full, then divide the rest between the two sandwich tins and bake for 25-30 mins until the cakes are risen and firm to the touch. The sponge in the pudding basin may need longer depending on whether the basin is metal or ceramic. Cool for 10 mins before turning out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
- Meanwhile, to make the icing beat the butter until it is creamy, beat in the icing sugar a little at a time, beat in the cocoa powder and 2 tbsp water.
- Cut the pudding basin cake in half horizontally and sandwich it back together with a little icing. Put a round sponge on a cake board or plate, sandwich the next one on top with a little icing. Sandwich the pudding basin cake onto the top of the round cake. If the bottom cake sticks out beyond the bottom of the pudding basin cake then trim the top edge of the lower cake at an angle to make the sides flatter. Ice the outside of the cake with a thin layer of chocolate icing, using it all up.
- Roll the fondant out on a surface dusted with icing sugar to make a sheet shape that is big enough to cover the whole cake. Drape it carefully over the iced cake and press it on around the top to make your ghost, with ruffles around the edges, cutting off the excess round the base. Colour some of the excess icing black by kneading in the food colouring, or use the black fondant icing. Roll it out to a few mm thick. Cut out eyes and a mouth and stick them on.
