Steps for Mummy Cakes
Take a roll of puff pastry, I used a round one, but you can also use a rectangular one. I made a rectangle and set the scraps aside, we will use them later. Cut it into 8 parts, and place them on a baking sheet
Peel and cut the pears into pieces. Spread the Nutella on the small rectangles, and distribute the pear pieces on top. Take the pastry scraps and cut them into strips, which we will place on the cakes, as if they were small bandages. Trim the excess to make them regular. Bake at 350°F in a static oven for about 20/25 minutes, until golden
Once ready, remove from the oven and let cool. Dust with powdered sugar and place the sugar eyes, glue them with a drop of Nutella. And here are the spooky mummies ready
Variations on Halloween Mummy Cakes
Instead of pears, you can use apples. You can use different types of fillings, such as chocolate cream, jam, or fresh fruit, and decorate them with colored sprinkles or jimmies. Let your creativity run wild and create truly unique mummies!
