Place 2 clean -- empty eggshell halves for the eyes. Place a sugar cube in each eggshell. At serving time -- saturate sugar cubes with extract. Lower room lights, and light sugar cubes with match. The ghost will have glowing eyes. They will burn out in a short time. Be sure to explain that only adults can light the sugar cubes. Can also do this with a white free form ghost cake.
