Cool & creepy cakes & cookies

I recently discovered a great baking blog by a fellow Ottawaian (or however you say it), Paula at Vanilla Bean Baker. And through Paula’s blog, I found another great baking blog, I Am Baker. (Don’t ya love how that works?) Amanda has created some of the coolest Hallowe’en cakes – she is one seriously talented baker! Check out her cool & creepy creations, starting with this red velvet cake with marshmallow buttercream ghosts:

How fun are those ghosts!? And here’s more fun – check out this awesome pumpkin cake:

Say it with me now – AWESOME! I have no idea how Amanda made the candle, but that is seriously cool! And she created this cake of awesomeness too:

It has a bat inside!

Ghosts & pumpkins & bats not your thing? Well, then how about spiders? Lots of creepy crawly spider petits fours:

And here are come cute & colourful cookies created by Meaghan at The Decorated Cookie. They just happen to be in some of my favourite colours :-)
