What’s Halloween without black and white? What’s more fun than dressing up for Halloween, getting the table set up for a little spooky fun! Its time for pumpkins, its time for for fall, its time to get dressed for a Halloween Masquerade Ball. 
Pumpkin all dressed up for a Halloween Masquerade Ball! Halloween is the perfect occasion to unleash your imagination in the kitchen and whip up some devilishly good desserts. With all the spooky sweets to choose from, this 3D Pumpkin Spice Cake was not my original plan, I was inspired by the pumpkins 
at the farmers market we usually go to on the weekends. My family is not a big fan of pumpkin, so I thought I’d disguise this years dessert with a shape of a pumpkin. 
Since it is my first time with fondant I was a little hesitant but I finally got enough courage to try using fondant to cover my cake 
Though it was almost too pretty to eat, I served the cake to my family and it was a hit! 
With delicious flavor combinations and gorgeous presentation, 
this 3D Pumpkin Spice Cake recipe may just convince you to jump on the pumpkin bandwagon. That is if you haven’t already ………..

Boo-tiful Halloween Cake
Trick or Treat! As we all know Halloween is a time for tricks and treats, but this boo-tifulhalloweencake recipe
is all treat, no trick. With the month of October coming to an end and Halloween is tomorrow, this resulted to last minute baking. Honestly I have been so busy with my kids, school, household and making my daughter’s Halloween costume and once again, I still don’t know how she convinced me. Last night I realized I had no dessert planned for Halloween and started to have a panic attack (I like to plan ahead of time). I decided to see what I had in my pantry and fridge and with eggs, flour, cocoa, chocolate and whipped cream I came up with boo-tifulhalloweencake .
I made a vanilla and chocolate cake baked layer by layer
and covered it in chocolate ganache.
Using melted chocolate I piped around the cake
I know it would have been more convenient picking up a cake from my local bakery but by putting something together from scratch (limited time) and making it look and taste more unusual is a big success in my book.
Homemade, of whatever degree, goes over best when it looks homemade. All it takes is a simple personal touch.

Haunted Black Forest Cake and Black Forest Chocolate Cupcakes
It’s Dark, its kinda scary, but it is so very delicious. 
Don’t be scared! These woods have critters and crawlies everywhere, they are watching you 
but they’re all as sweet as can be. 
For some reason, Halloween makes me think of Black Forest Cake, so I styled my cake with a bit of Halloween flare. I call it HauntedBlackForestCake . From googly eyed critters made from ChocolateCoveredLeaves 
to ChocolateDippedMaraschinoCherries
and topped with a Ghost that is made of fondant. 
….that screams Halloween, right? This was a cake that was made at least a thousand times by my mother in law from scratch, this is my first try at it and I hope it is a thumbs up. You can make this cake as simple or as complex as you’d like. 
Chocolate cake from scratch, chocolate cake from a mix 
….. cherry pie filling or fresh cherries 
in a delicious, thick sauce, the choice is entirely yours. When I hear Black Forest Cake, the first thoughts that come to mind are chocolate, cherries and plenty of whipped cream. 
You will enjoy the delicious chocolate taste of the cake 
while having an ooze of cherry filling once you get in the middle. The frosting and garnish is pretty much the same. 
Black Forest Chocolate Cupcake is a smaller version 
of the popular Black Forest Cake. I had left over batter so I decided to make this mini version. Simple to make once cupcakes were cooled I cored the center of each 
cupcake and filled with the cherry filling 
. Once topped with whipped cream and dusted with chocolate shavings I transformed these goodies into a Picture Perfect Halloween Treat… 
A perfect combination of chocolate and cherries packed into a cupcake. 
Children love their sweet treats and the tasty, delicious cupcake 
is no exception. With it’s small size, spongy taste and fluffy whipped topping, the cupcakes are a real hit for Halloween. 
Happy Halloween and remember you could never go wrong with Black Forest.
