Sunday TREATS: Happy Halloween!

No tricks today; just the sweetest treats to get you ready for all that Halloween candy later tonight. :)

First, a tribute to a classic:

Submitted by Gabrielle K. & made by Erin S

It's the Great Pumpkin (Cake), Charlie Brown!


A bewitching black cat:

Made by CW readers Sabrina & Anneke V.


I love the spooky effect dry ice brings to this witch's cauldron:


So. Cool.


Check out these fun colors:

Sub'd by Jessa W. & made by Cakes By Ashley




Now for a slightly more Grim design...

Sub'd by Liz, made by Sweet Honeybee Bakery.

Look at that piping detail! Gorgeous.


Frank here looks more like a spooky art bust than a cake:


Amazing.


And who knew a giant spider cake could be elegant?

I like this fun modern design:

It's so bright and cheerful!


Speaking of bright, here's Jack Skellington's glowing little pooch, Zero:


If you're wondering why I don't have more Tim Burton cakes featured today, it's only because I have enough to do a whole separate post. Look for that sometime in the next few weeks!

One more spooky sweet graveyard:


And finally, I don't usually mention flavors here on Sunday Sweets, but Darla's Orange and Chocolate layer cake has me seriously tempted to break out the baking pans:


Plus, aren't her little pumpkins adorable?

Now look what you get when you slice into it!

Ooooh. Ahhhh.

To try this yourself, check out the recipe and instructions on Bakingdom here.


Happy Halloween, everyone!

  8. Uhhh, teriffic posts today :)

    And a big THANK YOU for giving the link to the recipe of the Orange & Chocolate layer cake!
    I saw one picture of that (the one where you can see the inside) somewhere else around but no link was given. And I found the cake so adorable that I wanted to make it by myself (without recipe just somehow) - but know I have it, YAY! Didn't reckon it'd be chocolate and orange layers (but only chocolate ones).

    I love cakewrecks! Makes my day - everyday :)

  11. Love, love, LOVE all of the cakes, but particularly the Great Pumpkin one. Snoopy's shadow on the moon! The trick-or-treaters, including Charlie Brown's overly-ventilated ghost! The pumpkin patch! Sally and Linus! When somebody in my family feels like we've gotten something less than we hoped it would be, our response is, "I got a rock."

    I love the wrecks for the laughter, revulsion and "Why the face" reactions they elicit, but the Sunday Sweets posts restore my faith in cake creationdom.

  12. Sorry, but "Bleagh.." Orange and chocolate are two flavors that should never have been combined. Just curdles my saliva to think about it. Love the Peanuts cake though, and Boob Nazi, you are missing out. It's a classic.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Totally. Awesome.

    In love with Linus and the Great Pumpkin and Zero. Great finds, and can't wait for the Burton post!!

    I've got my work cut out for me for next year.

  15. The last cake reminds me of the design for my FH's groom's cake. Orange Cake (Grand Marnier) with chocolate truffle buttercream, in a 3D TARDIS. So yummy

    ReplyDelete
  16. Mad love for the Great Pumpkin cake!!!! I want a cake like that!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I just finished eating a cupcake based on Bakingdom's recipe and it was amazing.

  18. What a wonderful post to find on my overnight stop between trips! I love the cat in a pumpkin cake. And the witch's hat on the smoking cauldron.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Happy Halloween to everyone on this wonderful site, and especially Jen!! I'm an Aussie, so it fell yesterday for us. The family watched Sleepy Hollow - the ultimate Halloween movie and a Johnny Depp/ Tim Burton collaboration to boot! I can't wait for that Tim Burton post!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I LOVE the Great Pumpkin cake!!! They even nailed the trick-or-treat costumes! "What did you get, Charlie Brown?" "I got a rock."

    That layer cake, however... oh, that layer cake. I'm going to be bustin' out the cake tins, too...

    ReplyDelete
  21. I have to say that hands down, Charlie Brown cake wins to me! Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  22. "That's FRONK-en-STEEN!" (I couldn't resist.)

    I expect that orange & chocolate cake is even better than orange sherbet with chocolate syrup drizzled on it. Yummy!

    ReplyDelete
  23. These are great!! So many creative people! Thank goodness they outnumber the "wreckerators"!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. The Great Pupmpkin cake is awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  25. You don't have to bake as many layers to make that cake if you have a really good torte slicer.

    Instead of many cake pans, you can also use a jelly roll pan, if you don't mind a square cake instead of round. Makes thinner cakes, cut into 4 layers each, only have to bake 2.

    Since the cake itself isn't to look like a pumpkin, only the decos on top, it could be fine not round.

    Both hubby and youngest child are now asking for one, thanks. *sigh*

    wv drecos -- dreadful decorations? Not this Sunday post!!

  26. I just love the last cake! I can't wait to make it! Darla is so talented!

    ReplyDelete
  27. That bakingdom.com website is awesome. I will have to spend more time there.
    Most of these were very cute. No wrecky horror show today. I'd like to see more scary-but-in-a-good-way cakes.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Such talent, although I could do without that scary blackwidow spider cake.

    ReplyDelete
  29. That last cake is truly amazing. I would love to bake something like that.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Cussing beautiful cakes you guys. All of them are incredible.

    ReplyDelete
  31. After that last cake, I'm now craving Sabra liqueur (chocolate + orange)... but that recipe definitely has potential! Thanks for sharing.

    The witches cauldron was really cool (you can mix dry ice with cake? really?), and I really enjoyed some of those other cakes. the artistry on the Frankenstein bust was amazing, but one has to wonder how stale the cake inside must be...

  32. I love the Charlie Brown cake! The Great Pumpkin is a Halloween Classic! I actually introduced my 20 months old daughter to it yesterday.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Actually,my parents got married on the day before Halloween, so I have been begging them to buy The Nightmare Before Christmas nd this year they finally did.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I adore the Great Pumpkin/Peanuts cake! I would have liked to have seen all of the little characters around the side... the Lucy witch was perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I thought the chocolate-orange cake was a doberge, a New Orleans tradition of thin layers of chocolate mousse and yellow(?) cake.

    I had one as my groom's cake, with chocolate and chocolate and raspberries... Mmmm.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Bleagh, that's what I was thinking. The goofy patriot cakes look more appetizing than most of these weird Halloween things.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Sundays on Cake Wrecks make me so happy... but this Sunday is absolute magic. And I don't mean Epcot magic...

    ReplyDelete
  38. I LOVE the "fun modern" one! And the Great Pumpkin one is super cute.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Has anyone asked about where to find that lovely black cake stand? I'm not sure what makes me drool more... the cake or the stand!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thanks Jen, I love the laughs, but its always great to see the *good* stuff too. These are all fantastic, but the steaming cauldron cake is my favorite.
