Hello guys and ghouls!
Today is the final installment of my Witchy Wednesday series and I've had a lot of fun coming up with vintage Halloween inspiration for you all. Today, we do something a little bit new and exciting which is testing out a vintage recipe. Now I love baking but I'm definitely not Martha Stewart level so feel free to have a giggle at my expense. I stumbled upon this 1970's Halloween Double Orange Cake and thought it was really cute and quite simple to make. So that's what we are going to do! Aprons on!
