"It's Pronounced Shi-THEAD"

Bakers! Halloween is next week!

GO! GO! GO!

Now keep going!

Yeah! That's good shi... er... stuff!

Push 'em out, shove 'em out, waaaaaay out!

Phew! That was a hard one.

But don't stop now; really let those creative juices flow!

That's it!

I love the smell of pumpkin stem in the morning!

This is all SO APPETIZING!

Ok, bakers, FINAL PUSH. Really put your back into it!
Let it allll out!!

YES THIS IS PERFECT

Welp, I guess that's one more Halloween in the can.

Good work, team.

Thanks to Kirsten F., Molly M., Lily Q., Loren B., Beth N., Clare L., Claire W., Jeremy B., & Jordan S. for the heady flush of victory.

And now, a moving moment for my fellow Potter heads:

"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
but don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
a smarter hat than me."
- actual quote from book 1

I bet he places everyone in Hufflepoop.

Pee Ess: If you want to be more intentional with your poop cakes - though bizarrely less accurate? - then I found the perfect $3 silicone pan for you:

Wilton Poop Emoji Pan 

I find it hilarious that the actual poop emoji pan looks less like poop than all of these bakers' attempts to NOT make poop. Also I've never written "poop" this often in a post before. Poopity poop poop. Yep, definitely breaking a record here.

10 Spooky Sweets For Halloween!

It's Spooky Season, Sweets lovers, and the gang's all here!

We've got bats:

... and teeny witches' hats!

(Arte Da Ka, Brazil)

Q: What did the Mummy say after she finished filming her YouTube sandwich video?

A: "THAT'S A WRAP."

I also found some spine-tingling wedding cakes:

(Custom Cakes In Los Angeles, CA, featured here)

For the couple that feels that spark of electricity together. :D

This one is super dark, but the textures are incredible:

(Twister Cake Art, Finland)

And here's a bare bones design for the bride on a budget:

;p

Are any of you watching Christine's new Youtube show, btw? I like it so much more than her Netflix series!

This mummy unicorn is as funny as it is adorable:

(Groundbaking Cakes, Malaysia)

That expression, hee!

And here's a grave situation that manages to be elegant, too:

 (Sprinkles, Dubai)

It doesn't get more classic than a Haunted house, and I love how cheery these colors are!

(Mardie Makes Cakes, Australia)

The forced perspective with that cobblestone path is ahhh-mazing.

And finally, move over, pumpkins, because these black berries are stealing your spotlight!

(The Necro NomNomNomicon, tutorial here)

Who knew purple winged berries could make such a gorgeously gothic cake?

Plus the bakery name cracks me up. BRAVO.

Have a spooky-licious Sunday, minions!

 I'm a big fan of black cats now that I have Eva, and just bought myself a necklace I think some of you will appreciate:

Studio Ghibli JiJi Broom Necklace

This is JiJi from KiKi's Delivery Service, but even if you don't know the move it's freaking adorable. PLUS he slides around on the broom! Eeee!
