Halloween treats

Yes, I'm at it again with more Halloween desserts, but give me a break- I'm a baker after all! So here are 5 more desserts that should be spook-tacularly delicious!

Isn't this bundt cake amazing as a spider web? If you go to the link the recipe has you dye a vanilla cake red, but if you're going to do that then you might as well make a proper Red Velvet cake. A silky, chocolate ganache would be decadent on this. The "web" could be either royal icing or melted white chocolate.

These candy corn sugar cookies are the cutest! I also thought this was a great way to cut them and get that triangular shape without needing a cookie cutter.

These Monster cookies are really fun with the candy eyes- you can find the eyes here but I found them in the baking section of Target. They were originally inspired by the movie Monsters University but they're definitely appropriate for Halloween.

These witchy fingers are just a plain sugar cookie recipe and then shape them into fingers. Use a small paring knife to create the knuckles and whole almonds for the fingernails.

These eyeball cupcakes are a little gross to look at, but I bet they taste good! Make any flavor cake and spread white buttercream as smoothly as possible. Place a lifesaver with a raisinet in the middle and then get a tube of red frosting and wiggle it out to make it look bloodshot.


I hope you get a chance to make one of these scary foods. I made the witchy fingers a few Halloweens ago and although they weren't perfect, they were a lot of fun to eat!
