Halloween Cake Ideas

Today I have some Halloween cake ideas to share with you. The first one is from Paula Deen, check out this video to see how she makes a witches hat cake. It looks like it would be a fun and easy cake to make for a Halloween party.

You’ll need one large round cake and a large square or oval cake, with a nesting of round cake cutters that get smaller.

Check out Paula in the video for complete witch hat cake instructions:

Here are a couple more ideas for Halloween cakes.

This first one is Dracula coming out of his coffin. Made with layers of cake for the coffin, and Dracula is made of fondant.

Here’s a spider cake. You can make the spider from fondant, or gum paste. This cake is iced with fondant, but you could also use buttercream, and pipe on the spiders web. Use fondant, and little star fondant cutters to make the stars.

Here are a few more for you to check out:

• Haunted House Cake from Martha Stewart
• Cake O’ Lantern from Family Fun
• Black Cat Cake from Betty Crocker
• Graveyard Cake from Taste Of Home
• Ghost Cake from Celebrations

I’m sure I’ll be back with more Halloween cake ideas, and maybe a few cupcakes too.
