Halloween Cake Ideas
Need some Halloween Cake Ideas? If you’re hosting a party this year, chances are that you’ll want to have a stunning cake to wow your guests. Here are some options to get your creative juices flowing. For those who are ambitious in the kitchen, a haunted house makes a perfect Halloween cake. Take one sheet cake and frost with black or brown frosting for the base of the cake. Then, with a second sheet cake, cut up pieces of cake to construct a “house” which is held together on top of the base with frosting (and wooden skewers, if necessary). Then frost the house and add windows, doors, scary pumpkins, and spooky bats. A graveyard beside the house with creepy ghosts and spindly trees is an added bonus.
There are lots of kid-friendly Halloween cake ideas, like the Halloween cupcakes pictured above. Or you can make a spider web cake with regular layer cakes. First, you cover a plain round two-layer cake in black frosting. Then, pipe on white frosting in the shape of a spider web. In the center of the web, create a large spider, either with frosting or with non-edible decorations like a black pom-pom and pipe cleaners.
Are you looking for a special Halloween cake pan?Then try eBay? With the Buy It Now feature you can probably get your pan delivered right away. The current auctions below on eBay for the keyword phrase "Halloween cake pan" should have the perfect pan for you: A scary Halloween cake is perfect for more grown-up gatherings. Body parts are a great idea: a cake in the shape of a severed hand, skull with oozing green filling, or bleeding heart can all be simple to make but have a huge effect on your guests. If you can’t find a cake pan in the shape that you want, get creative and look at other cake pans that you might be able to use to achieve the shape you want. If all else fails, just make a sheet cake and cut it into the required shape.
A fall cake with some leaves and pumpkins like the one pictured above is also a good choice for the season. Your next Halloween cake can be as tame or as spooky as you like it. The important thing is to have fun with it and make it a truly unique part of your celebration. When the sugar highs wear off and the costumes have been tucked away into the closet, everyone will remember the effort you put into making your Halloween cake special.
