Sprinkle Bakes did a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.etsy.com\/en\/make-an-edible-terrarium\/\">tutorial<\/a> for Etsy which uses chocolate cupcake &#8220;dirt,&#8221; candy rocks*, and succulents made from candy clay.  It seems to me that you could make other objects from the same candy clay.  Like, for instance, tombstones.<\/p>\n<p>Little individualized graveyards would be a fun party favor, or you could make a large one in a glass compote as a table centerpiece.  You could use chocolate cookie crumbs rather than cupcakes for the dirt if you prefer, and switch out the candy clay with fondant or gum paste (Craftsy has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.craftsy.com\/article\/modeling-chocolate-vs-fondant-vs-gum-paste\">good overview<\/a> of the differences between them).<\/p>\n<p>The tutorial features a plastic deer as an additional decoration, but there are plenty of spooky miniatures&#8211;such as vultures and snakes&#8211;that could be used instead.  The terrarium could also be made more child-friendly by using a clear plastic container (a goblet would be neat) instead of glass.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\n<br \/>\n*Because the tutorial was done for Etsy she links to them for the rocks, but they&#8217;re also available on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Kimmie-Choc-O-Rocks-Chocolate-Shaped-Candy\/dp\/B00VMSP7NE\/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=shadmano-20&#038;qid=1459942662&#038;sr=8-2\" rel=\"nofollow\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a cute idea that could easily be turned to darker ends: Terrariums made of edible materials.
