Sunday Sweets: Halloween

I'm not a fan of gory Halloween cakes, so instead here are some truly Sweet designs to get you in a spooktacular mood for Saturday.

First, a fun topsy-turvy style:

(Made by Pink Cake Box)

And a bat cake that is almost painfully adorable:

(Made by Dorispepsi)

Speaking of adorable, this little ghost with pigtails also fits the bill:

Although she'll have to watch where she steps; it looks like Slimer paid a visit. ;)

This wedding cake has a real Burton-esque feel to it (which is a good thing, of course):

(Made by Let Them Eat Cake)

And this one has fantastic details:

(Made by Thefrostedcakencookie.)

I love the tree and the way the moon is suspended from the roof. Plus, check out the little cobblestones and gate; the composition is as pretty as a painting!

And finally, I never imagined a skull cake would be my favorite, but then I never imagined a skull cake could be this gorgeous, either:

(Submitted by Sheila M. & made by the great Highland Bakery)

I hope you enjoyed today's Sweet Treats! Now brace yourselves, 'cuz this week you're going to see a whole lotta Halloween Wreckage. [rubbing hands together gleefully] Oh yeah, this is going to be good.

I love that skull cake, and the Burton-esque one as well as the one right below it. The names on the little tombstones on that one amuse me.

I'm sorry, cutesy Halloween cakes are just WRONG.

Valentine's day can be cute (for kids) and hopefully sexy for the grown-ups. Christmas can be cute. heck, I'll even be OK with a cute Thanksgiving (although the turkeys never think of it that way).

But Halloween should be SCARY. Gross. Show us some awesome SCARY cakes.

Do petit fours count???

I tried making them for the first time ever... halloween themed of course.

I went to a wedding a few years ago and they had a lovely Halloweeny cake. Take a peek! http://www.flickr.com/photos/anitza/54493389/

These are great Halloween cakes, but how about showing some love for Dia de los Muertos?

That bat is super adorable! One of my all time favs.

I had to comment as I've been staring at that 1st cake for the last 2 weeks! I love pink cake box and used that design to show as inspiration to a client who wanted a Halloween themed birthday cake. I didn't think that she would request the actual cake! With a few additions this is what I made: http://cakesandbakesni.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/halloween-50th-birthday/

I was so surprised when Pink Cake box commented on my blog and was ok with my interpretation too!

BTW I'm just an amateur who bakes in her spare time...I could never claim to be in the same league as the (decent) professionals, although I believe cakewrecks give me hope that I'm actually better than many who call themselves professionals!!!

Just happened across one of my cakes here :) The Girlie Ghost n light up Jack O Lantern.

I am smiling at all of the warm comments!

I am more a Halloween should be scary gal myself, but the client prevails!! At least I got a little goo in!!
