Could a terrifying holiday like Halloween be turned to a fun activity? Halloween lovers say it can! With a bit of imagination and some creepy and fun Halloween cake recipes, you can make this year’s Halloween into a lasting memory.
In case you were wondering where can you find the inspiration for Creepy Halloween Cakes, here’s our list of recipes you should try out.
Spider Cakes
Spider cakes are great deals for the beginning of the party. The details on this type of cakes can be truly inspiring and fun. There are several designs you need to consider for a spider web cake.
Firstly, are you going to make the whole cake inspired by the spider? You can do this with making a chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache. Make sure you adapt the shape of the cake to the form of the spider. For the legs, use Oreo cookies or fondant.
Secondly, are you going to use spiders as a decorative element on your cake? In that case, you can make spider figures out of fondant (which allows you to experiment with colors and texture) or you can use cookie dough or even Oreo cookies.
Thirdly, you can make only a reference to the spider cake, by designing it to look like a spider web. There are many ways you can decorate your cake like this: for example, you can make a spider web out of sugar. Another way is to use the professional decorating kit and make a spider web out of that.
Bloody Cakes
Spiders are just one part of Halloween decorations. Another one is bloody cakes. One would believe that making a bloody cake is easy, but it sure requires some imagination and craft to do it effectively.
You won’t need plenty of resources to make blood. Use natural ingredients like beets for coloring, or go with quick-fix in the form of food dies. Add color to the syrup that goes over the cheesecake (even better, make a red cheesecake with some strawberries, raspberries, and cranberries!), or add it to the whipped cream.
Also, you can use blood decorations in the other cakes you make. For example, if you choose to make werewolf inspired cake, you can add some blood drops to the decoration.
Witch Cakes
There’s a significant number of Halloween motifs that inspired cake decorators to use them on their cakes. Among the famous ones, a witch theme is something that can be employed in a variety of ways, and always be fresh and exciting.
To begin with, you can make a witch hat cake. Make a round shaped cake which you’ll craft into the cone. Cover the cake with fondant (use black one), decorate it with some popular witch symbols like a big nose, brooms, or striped socks.
If you would like to make your cake playful and witty, you can make it in the shape of the cauldron, on the top of which you’ll add some vegetables, worms, rat tails, and eyes. Let your imagination guide you – and make sure you keep our tips in mind!
