Oh, hello there. Do come in. You're just in time for some Halloween "entertainment." Just brush those cobwebs aside and make your way into this unnecessarily cold and dimly-lit foyer.
Tonight, you will join me on a tour through some of the creepiest, spookiest, and most haunting Sweets we've ever featured. Are you FRIGHTENED? {Evil snicker...} Excellent.
Follow me into the next room where I have a little treat waiting for you.
This was our last visitor:

We thought he'd beheaded home by now.
Ahh, and please allow me to introduce my blushing bride:
If I can be frank, our marriage is a real scream.
Follow me into the laboratory where our scientists are tinkering with a few experiments...

We'll leave him be. It looks like he's got a lot on his mind.
Do be careful walking into this next room. You never know what might cross your path.
Oh, don't worry; she doesn't bite... hard.
Keep your eyes peeled while you're walking through the toy room. Someone might be in there clowning around...
Yes, his eyes and hair have a ghoulish glow, but that's only because he's so happy to have someone new to play with.
Did you notice our Jack O' Lantern?

I think there's candy inside. Why don't you reach your hand in to get some?
Or grab yourself an apple! I promise they're not poisoned.
Although they do have a bit of a bite.
Is that a shiver I detect? Then perhaps we should avoid the basement:
It tends to give people goosebumps*.

I'm sorry, is my little tour making your skin crawl?

I could lighten things up with a few jokes. They'll have you in stitches, I promise.
Oh, and stay on your toes as we enter the old Victorian ballroom. You never know what spirits might still be dancing around in here.

Did you feel that?
I could have sworn I saw something in the corner there.
I must be imagining things.
Well, I'm afraid you must be leaving now. The missus and I are expecting more guests this evening. But don't forget our creepies and the crawlies, our spooks and scares, our evil demons and ghostly ghouls!!
After all, we want you to sleep well tonight.
LIKE THE DEAD, in fact.
Mwuaaah haaaa haaaa!
Ahahahahaaaa!!
BWAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
Oh, and don't miss the gift shop on your way out; we have rock candy and postcards for 50% off!
And one last thing:
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I am in awe at the tiered 'skin' cake.
Wow talk about talent-those are amazing :D I love them
oh...my...god... that clown cake is gonna give me nightmares for the rest of my life.
Hahaha. "Unnecessarily cold and dimly lit foyer". That's great. Also, I'm totally blown away by the apple cake.
*Sniff!* Tears of joy! Loved every detail, from the lacy curtains on the first cake to the little headstones in the front yard of the last cake. Thank you, thank you, thank yoooooooooooo!!!
The cat stopped me in mid-scroll. I even called my mother over to see that work of art. Of course, they're all beautiful but that one was stunning.
Love the commentary, No. 1. :D
Those women were amazing, but I think my favorite is actually the apple. Perfect.
I LOVE the apple cake. The peel turning into a snake, super metaphorically-symbolical (I made that up) and it did actually give me chills. Awesome! :)
The cat cake is gorgeous, the ladies are divine, the goosebumps door is awesome... But why oh why does that clown cake even have to made!?!? Scrolling down and seeing that when you first wake up = no bueno :( :( :(
Can't sleep, clowns will eat me...
That clown cake is terrifying, but I am IN LOVE with that snake/apple peel cake. It is too freaky
Ok... Clown cake scared me nearly to death! I wanted to look away, but I couldn't!! Eeeiiii!! The gorgeous Victorian women cakes made me feel better though. Sooo pretty! :)
The apple cake was gorgeous and so clever! Wow! All the cakes were amazing as always, but I was in awe of the 'skin' cake. So simple, so well done, so CREEPY!
Love the Bride of Frankenstein cake. Perfectly captured the character as Elsa Lancaster portrayed her in the film. Wish I'd had that for an Art Deco festival back in September.
I can't believe how realistic the skull cake is! Amazing artistry on all of them but that one is superb!
This clown will kill you........ MUWA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Creepiness!!!!! These cakes are so well made, and so creepy! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's hard to picture you putting a clown cake on the Sweets day, but there it is! These are creepy (for the most part) but well done.
That clown is going to eat me while sleep tonight !!!!!
*eyes scrunched shut, fingers in ears*
hate the clown, hate the clown, hate the clown, hate the clown, hate the clown, hate the clown....
*one eye open warily* Is it gone yet? :(
Ok, that clown cake woke me up. D=
However, the ghostly ladies make up for it. I do have to provide a mild nitpick about something, though, and please don't anyone hate me for it because I'm just stating a fact- They aren't Victorian. If I had to guess, judging from the poofy hair and even poofier gowns, I'd say Marie Antoinette's time (Georgian era).
*whimpering in corner* mommy.
The detailing of the Marie Antoinette cake is stunning. I love all the others too, they're either goolishly delightful or delightfully goolish. But that clown...uugghh...can't unsee a clown. Ever.
That apple cake is ridiculous!!!
"Victorian" ballroom? No, those ladies are from the Ancien Regime! (Not to start an Epcot here, just want to distinguish one epoch from another VERY different one . . .)
Anyway, these cakes are so many more reasons to be glad I have an October birthday!
That skull cake is absolutely amazing!
That skin cake made me shudder. So beautiful but so gross. I especially loved the apple/snake cake though. The concept and execution are amazing.
Am I the only one who finds the bride of Frankenstein a little wrecky? Not up to the high standard set by the others, IMO.
I can't get over that SKULL!!! HOW do they make cake look that much like the real thing? Do they sell their souls to the, uh... Devil?
Creepy clown is creepy
and I'm no longer sleepy
If anything, I'm weepy
Oh God, that clown is creepy
That skin cake was creepy.....
OMG the skin cake...I'm speechless.
Gah, there should be a warning on posts that contain creepy clowns!
Those Victorian ladies are GORGEOUS!
I am trying to figure out WHY in the name of all that's holy someone had to MAKE that skin cake. Did someone seriously request a cake made to look like stapled-together skin for their wedding/birthday/some other celebration?? WHY??
(It's well done... TOO well done, lol!)
I love, love, love you. I'm hoping that telling you that will make this a little easier to
hearread.Those are not Victorian ghost women. I know you must feel very silly for getting it wrong, so I'm going to tell you what they are because I'm so helpful. They are actually cakes. You're welcome.
I don't know... are those evil brain-sucking doozers?
I didn't even take time to LOOK at that clown cake. My finger took over and scrolled hastily down, to save me. Almost like it was possessed....
wow, those victorian ballroom women - amazing!
the apple snake cake - amazing!
the skin cake - ackmazing!
clown cake - eekmazing!
basement door cake - uh ohmazing!
Question about the clown and Georgian lady cakes: Were they meant to be creepy, or did they just turn out that way? Pretty sure the clown was meant to be creepy, not so sure about the ladies.
Finally - an answer to Schroedinger's Cat! It becomes CAKE! In the best of all universes.
"We thought he'd beheaded home by now." I. Love. It.
That skin cake is giving me cold shivers. First time I've seen a cake that I really would not be able to eat...
I really like that black cat cake.
These are fuh-REAKING awesome!!! The skull one was my favorite until I got down to the Victorian Ladies and I just died! Wow!
Toronto in 2 days!!!
Borrowing Petula Clark's "Downtown" tune:
When you browse Cake Wrecks and you’re safe ‘cause it Sunday
You‘ll still be scared by
Death Clown
These cakes are so lovely, not like Monday to Friday,
But I’m terrified.
Death Clown
Absolutely amazing and wierdly wonderful! A tip o' the cranium to all!
Love Love Love the Goosebumps cake! Too cute!!!! That creepy clown cake however......It was enough to put me off toyboxes for a long time!
<shiver> Those were perfectly creepy cakes! I was totally awe-struck by the skull! And I loved the detail on the clown cake where you could see the eyebrows that had been covered in the white face make-up. So cool! The apple/snake cake is the one that will keep me up at night...it was bad enough associating worms with popping out of apples, but now snakes? <shudder>
I wonder, is the cat cake a Schroedinger reference, or maybe it's supposed to be a "cat box" (ew)?
The apple cake is AMAZING - concept and execution (not the dead kind of execution). Art that's edible. Fan-flipping-tastic!
