This month we sent a few friends of Wilton on a mission to think outside the candy box when it comes to Halloween treats. Here are a few projects from around the web that have us truly bewitched!
Ghost Hi-Hat Conecakes | Hungry Girl Por Vida
These ghostly treats allow you to enjoy the best of both worlds. A dollop of vanilla bean Swiss meringue conceals spiced chocolate cake batter nestled into spookily sweet sugar cones.
Halloween Candy Corn Cake | Baking with Blondie
Black buttercream and a surprise inside will make this cake the star of any Halloween party. Don’t forget to snap a picture before little witches and wizards gobble it all up!
Graveyard Halloween Cake | The Road to Honey
A fun project for the whole family, this decadent chocolate sheet cake is topped with edible tombstones, skeletons, trees and a whole lot of chocolate sludge — we mean fudge!
Witch Hat Cupcakes | The Simple Sweet Life
You’ll find very little toil and trouble when it comes to making these vexingly delicious witch hat cupcakes. The hats are made out of frosting instead of fondant, ensuring they’re a hit with kids.
Halloween Flower Cake | Frosted Fuji Cakes
A brighter take on the traditional Halloween palette, we’re spellbound by Rachel Fujihara’s color mood in this floral fall cake.
Graveyard Cake | Neurotic Mom
A cake to die for — this spine-chilling sweet shows our Zombie Fingers Pretzel Mold in action.
Halloween Buttercream Cake | Leslie Vigil
You’ll need a second glance to notice that this prim and polished monochromatic buttercream cake is teeming with creepy crawlies! We love this one for more formal Halloween soirées.

Can I make designs to put on cakes and store them in foil until ready to use. If Fondant gets hard is it still good to eat?
Hi Paula – Wrapping in foil might distort your fondant creation. You can typically leave it out in a cool dark place, maybe covered with a clean dish cloth to protect from dust. If you are storing the topper for a long time, you might have better luck putting the topper in a box or container rather than foil.
Hard fondant isn’t pleasing to eat. It may soften somewhat when it’s in contact with frosting or it can be removed before serving.
