This cake was presented to a woman and created in a bakery in emmaus. To my mind it is the coolest (in the literal meaning of the word) Birthday cake I have ever thought of and imagined.

Unfortunately I don’t know its recipe as well as the way it tasted, but I DO believe that the following sweet masterpiece can be everything but unsavoury.

The first type of cakes is completely nice and adorable. they pay tribute to main Halloween details: bats, pumpkins, snakes …

The second type is simply gloomy cakes with numerous bones, skeletons and Dracules …

The third type unites the kind of cakes I will never ever dare to try: awfully realistic body parts …

What type do you prefer? 

Have a happy and tasty Halloween!
