1 - Black Velvet Cake

This one isn't a strictly Halloween cake but it's black and elegant and dare I say would be right at home at any Halloween party! This black velvet cake is based on a red velvet cake but made with natural black cocoa to colour it!

2 - Halloween Wedding Cake

I love the idea of a Halloween wedding - I love any excuse for a party really! This cake looks like it comes from a marble mausoleum but it hides a killer vanilla cake inside.

3 - Surprise Bundt Cake

There's a lot going on with this cake. It's designed to look like the Evil Queen's crown but there's also a surprise inside that says BOO! when you cut it up!

4 - Day of the Dead Pavlova

Who doesn't love pavlova and the colourful fruit goes so well with the colourful Day of the Dead theme! This is so delicious and is one of my favourite cakes to eat.

5 - Halloween Sugar Cookie Dollhouse

Sometimes I get the urge to make a gingerbread house but a Halloween version! This dollhouse is large and sized like a real doll house and has 4 bedrooms and furniture too!

So tell me Dear Reader, which cakes speaks to you the most?
