Halloween

This cake is a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse and caramel fillings. Hope you all had a spooky Halloween!!

Zombie/Halloween/Anniversary Cake???

This cake was SO fun! I think mostly because of the story that goes with it. This lady emailed me saying she needed a cake for her 3rd anniversary. It turns out that they got married on Halloween, in Vegas, with a Phantom of the Opera Masquerade theme. So many ways to go with that!! She decided on a zombie themed wedding style cake.
The zombie couple are made out of modeling chocolate and fondant. and the cats and pumpkins are made from fondant.
They also have 3 cats (the first of which they got on their first anniversary). So we put the 3 cats at the bottom of the cake to signify the 3 years they've been married (and they are in Halloween costumes, of coarse Ü)

Happy Halloween!

This spooky cake serves 24 party sized pieces. It is a chocolate cake with a chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream icing. The grass is piped on with a vanilla buttercream. The hand is modeling chocolate that is mummified with gum paste. The tombstone is rice-crispy treat covered in fondant.
I thought it turned out spooky, but not too over-the-edge. With Halloween cakes, you have to find a balance. It can't be TOO gross, because you want someone to eat it! Ü
