Getting involved in Halloween gives you the perfect opportunity to try out some new bakes and cake decorating ideas even if you don’t celebrate the occasion much yourself. There are colours to use and techniques to try that can really get your creative juices flowing. It’s not often that you can use black icing on a cake, or cookie cutters shaped like deformed body parts! Bats, witches and pumpkins aren’t exactly pretty so we tend to keep away from using them on our cake designs, but at Halloween, you can do whatever you want! Blood thirsty vampires – Check. Severed heads – No problem. Witches riding motorcycles with flames bursting from their cloaks – Sure, why not?!
So, if you’re putting together a Halloween Party this year, for kids or adults, below are a few suggestions for the baked goodies that you might be making. You can also find an extended list of recommended halloween party essentials in our spooky Amazon ideas list here.
