Halloween Baking: Your Favourite Treats but Make them Spooky!
• Lynsey Macdonald
There's nothing more fun than putting a seasonal spin on a classic! Everyone has their top tier treats, and finding cute ways to turn them into an instant party hit is a surefire way to get your creativity flowing. When it comes to Halloween baking, it's simple - take your favourite treats but make them spooky! Here are a few ideas to get you started...
And if you already know exactly what you want to do (you little cake decorating genius!), look no further than our Halloween category. It's got everything you need.
Spooky Cookies
Aren't these cookies boo-tiful?! With the handy grippy cutter tools from Wilton, our friends at @jkbakes_ created these spooktacular Halloween treats. Use the cutters to cut both the cookie dough and sugarpaste for that perfect shape.
Josh and Kirstie then decorated the cookies using colours from Sweet Sticks, stamps from Sweet Stamp, the BOO stencil from Simply Making and a dash of sprinkles from Sprinkletti!
Creeptastic Cupcakes
Halloween baking doesn't have to mean neon orange, green and black, you know! We're obsessed with these pastel hue cupcakes @yoras.cakes created!
To decorate your very own spooky season cupcakes, grab your buttercream, oil based colours and piping tools. Judit topped some of these beauties off with adorable ghost edible decorations from FunCakes!
And don't forget the perfect presentation - we love a Halloween cupcake box!
You can watch Judit make these cupcakes here!
Bewitching Bento Cakes
Nothing beats a Bento Cake for ultimate instagrammable vibes! We had to share this iconic example from @bake.works!
Keeping it classic with black buttercream and skull detail (using a mould from Wilton), and then finished off with Hocus Pocus across the top (explore alphabet cutters here). Halloween baking perfection!
So if you're baking a gift, a spooky slogan on a bold Bento cake is sure to go down a (trick or) treat! Just pop the finished bake in one of our Bento Boxes and you're good to go.

De(vi)lish Donuts
Who doesn't love donuts? Another seasonal smash from Judit at @yoras.cakes, these super cute donuts are perfect for a Halloween treat table!
Swirl together two of your favourite icing colours in some white chocolate or candy melts and dip your donut in to create this gorgeous marbled effect! Then decorate with your choice of sprinkles and edible decorations. SO easy, and so effective!
You can watch Judit make these donuts here!
We hope these spooky twists on classic treats have got you feeling inspired! We'd love to see what Halloween baking you get up to - remember to tag us on Instagram using @the_cake_decorating_co and #cakedecfamous!
