Bat to the Bone - by @by.sarahteresa (formerly @bake.works)
Classic orange frosting, but with the most modern of twists! We can't take our eyes off these beautiful dried flowers from AdamApple. And can we talk about these adorable ghosts? Spooky season perfection.
All Black Everything - by @4cake_sake
There's something so eye-catching about a mysterious monochrome cake. Jess from @4cake_sake created this showstopper in all black, with stunning piping, bat detail and the perfect topper from Sweet Stamp.
Witch, Please - by @4cake_sake
Another stunning creation from @4cake_sake! The opposite of monochrome, if your Halloween baking ideas favour bold colour, this will be a firm fave! Finished off perfectly with a black cake drip and the Adam Apple Halloween Topper...
#SquashGoals by @4cake_sake
The third in this trio of cakes from @4cake_sake, and it's the prettiest pumpkin in the patch! Using the Wilton Jack-O-Lantern Cake Tin, Jess created the perfect shape to decorate with Wilton sprinkles and colours!
Too Cute to Spook - by @bryncottagex
We are all kinds of obsessed with this cake from @bryncottagex! Not all Halloween baking ideas have to be super spooky. Sometimes the cutest of creations make the best kind of bake!
Go Big or Gourd Home - by @yoras.cakes
Is there anything more perfect for Halloween than a pumpkin theme? Switching up the Autumn vibes from golds and rusts to peaches and pinks really packs a punch. With colours this bright, your cake will be pick of the patch!
You Make Me Batty - by @yoras.cakes
A spooky twist on a Lambeth cake! This gorgeous lilac, blue and green cool toned creation is everything. With cute bat detail and purple skulls, this is the perfect vintage Halloween baking inspo.
Love at First Bite - by @queenoftarts.patisserie
Gorgeous but ghoulish, these colourful cupcakes are sure to catch the eye! If you're having a Halloween party, cupcakes can be the perfect treat to hand out. Only question is - are they too cute to eat?!
Give 'Em Pumpkin to Talk About - by @lucyyoungcakes
Two incredible cakes in one photo! The amazing Lucy created this Pumpkin Cake and Spiderweb Lambeth, and we're obsessed with both. Using colours from Colour Mill and sprinkles from Happy Sprinkles, these cakes most definitely stand out from the crowd!
Ghostess with the Mostess - by @chikzpatisserie
The cutest ghost we ever did see! Get playful with your Halloween baking ideas - there's nothing we love more than seeing you all putting your own spin on a classic design.
Pumpkin Spice Things Up - by @seeyenbakes
Is there a more perfect way to present a Halloween treat than in our satin finish Bat Cupcake box?! Amanda created these dreamy pumpkin cupcakes and we are head over heels. When it comes to your Halloween baking ideas, and don't stop at the cakes themselves. Spooky presentation is the key!
Boo Y'all! - by @jkbakes_
Cotton candy colours for these adorable spooky season treats! The team at @jkbakes_ finished these cupcakes off with the cutest ghosts and "Boo Y'All" toppers from Sweet Stamp. That combo of Colour Mill Candy Pink and Baby Blue is stunning.
Creeptastic Cakesicles - by @thefoodrubiks
No "best of" cakey round up would be complete without some cakesicles! The amazing Sophie decorated these using the Wilton Zombie Hands decorating kit. Aren't they the perfect creepy treats!?
