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:
Cool enough, you might be thinking, but what makes it awesome? THIS makes it awesome:
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 :-)
And one last treat from Paula at Vanilla Bean Baker – she baked and decorated these bat & moon cookies:
And then turned them into a fun & edible mobile:
If you’d like to try out Amanda’s & Meaghan’s & Paula’s Hallowe’en cake & cookie creations, here are the recipes:
Happy baking!

ReplyDeletei just realized i didn't upload my blog link to your new one -- was wondering if everything was okay b/c the title hasn't change for awhile -- opps! love the ghost cake!
ReplyDeleteWow... what a yummy post!! Love love love the pumpkin cake!
ReplyDeletewow, those are amazing -- what talent! If I lived in Ottawa, I'd be trying to talk her into selling me some of those petit fours and that top cake with the marshmallow ghosts. Very interesting Kelly, thanks.
ReplyDeleteThose cakes are so cool...
ReplyDeleteThey may look creepy but I'd be more than willing to take a bite:)

WOW - How clever!!! They would be so fun for Halloween - imagine what kids would say!
ReplyDeleteI am very flattered that you mentioned and linked my site in the same post as Amanda and Meaghan. Both of these woman are hugely creative and talented and inspire me on a regular basis. Since I started Vanilla Bean Baker I cannot tell you the amount of wonderful people I have met through my blog. The internet has not only provided a wealth of inspiration for me but a wealth of new friendships as well. Thank you for being one of them. Hopefully, we will have a chance to meet in person one day.
ReplyDeleteWow!! I wanna make all of these treats! The cakes look so cool, especially that first one. I wish I was this talented with baking :)
