Our Top 10 Favorite Halloween Cakes

Posted by BS on October 13 2009 in Baking, Desserts, Holiday, Top Ten Lists

While we here at ES put most of our Halloween energy into thinking up weird food costumes, we’ve noticed in the past couple of years that our friends around the blogosphere and flickr-verse have been getting crazy creative with the cakes for this particular holiday season. Since you know we can’t bake to save our lives, let’s take a look at a few of the freakiest, loveliest cakes we’ve spied around the web.

    The $99 at WS will actually buy you the cake itself. Pre-baked and frozen. Which is still ridiculous.

    the kitty litter cake is a favorite around our house. It is deliciously repulsive.

    omg the organs cake is so oddly realistic…
    and why would you want one shaped like a cockroach? GROSS ME OUT.

    I would only consider eating the first, third, fourth, and sixth, the others, I would NEVER touch. I couldn’t do it. Gross.

    I’ve been to a few parties where that cat litter cake was served – I can’t even watch people eat it…

    Funny enough I’d eat the human intestines before I ate the box of kitty litter any day.
