• Lynsey Macdonald

Step into a world where spooky meets sweet with our Halloween series! Inspired by the most delightfully dark family, our cake pros created a cake for each iconic character. From elegantly eerie designs to creepy but cute bakes, let's see what they came up with!

Whether you're a pro baker like these talented artists, or a hobby baker just getting started, Halloween is SUCH a fun time to get creative! There are so many ways to add a spooktacular finishing touch to a basic design. We just like seeing the pros go all out...

Shop our Halloween collection to get stocked up on everything you need for spooky season.

An Icon in Fondant

First up we have this incredible Wednesday cake, designed by our talented friend @chloemaguirecakes! Chloe's focus was fondant, using The Sugar Paste in black and white to create this masterpiece in the classic colour palette!

Presented on one of our best-selling black cake boards, this cake is the perfect mix of spooky and sleek. We are obsessed with the details, from the polka-dot dress to the braids! And don't get us started on that frightfully real looking hand on top, look at those nails - Halloween perfection!

@sweetgeebakes is the cake artist extraordinaire behind this glorious Gomez inspired cake! Using colours from Colour Mill and beautiful heart sprinkles from FunCakes, Grace created this unforgettable Halloween showstopper!

She went all out in the details here, adding nicknames Gomez gives Morticia in amongst that stunning piping, and creating those incredible candles out of white chocolate drip. This mix of playful perfection is the energy we're taking in to all of our Halloween bakes this year!
