Halloween Cakes

We are getting ready for our Halloween Party. Decided to make the cake decorating easy by using Wilton Character Pans. The cakes were chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and lemon cakes. The outlines were piped in tip 3, filled in with 18 star tips, bordered with 32 tip.

The cakes were covered in buttercream, sprinkled some with sparkle dust and added a few chocolate bats to the haunted pumpkin to add to the scene. Had lots of fun decorating them.

Halloween is the time for all good witches and vampires to join forces. The cake was vanilla on top of chocolate fudge cake frosted with buttercream.

The outline was done in tip 3, the shell border in tip 32, the stars in tip 21, the facial features in tip 16. The bubbles were jelly bellies.

The Frankenstein Engagement Party

Halloween is my favorite time of the year besides Christmas. I love to see the children dressing up in their favorite characters. This is the Frankenstein's engagement party, perfect night for it.

The cake is a chocolate sheet cake covered in buttercream, with purple on top and orange on the sides to celebrate the holiday. The shell border was in orange on top and bottom with top 21. The moon was in white buttercream and patted with cornstarch.

The figures were done in Color Flow, as was the bats and lettering and attached with a bit more color flow.

Madisons Spooky Birthday Cake

I used one rectangular 9x 13 x 3. It was a chocolate cake. I torte it in two and filled it with cookies and crumb filling. I crumb coated and let it crust. I them smooth it using the viva towel method.

I decorated it with chocolate ghosts, tombs and a chocolate haunted house and trees. The ghosts seems like they are flying, to get that look I used a little buttercream to lift them up from the cake.

You can tell I need to practice my handwriting. This cake was done last year. I have gotten a little better, but now with so many tools to do letters I am not as worried as before.

I made the skull on the tomb seem as if he is crying. Who knows what he or she did in their life. Maddie loved the cake. She is my adopted granddaughter, she is my granddaughters cousin.
