Once upon a time there was a sugarpaste finger that got in the way of a nasty knife who came along and chopped the top of the finger off and there was sugar blood everywhere!  Red sugarpaste and black cupcake cases are available. 

Another exclusive from Cake Craft World is this scary face cutter.  By adding some simple features it becomes the face from the iconic 'Scary Movies'.  The other cupcake couldn't be simpler, just flatten balls of black and white sugarpaste on to the top and paint the veins on with red paste colour.

This cupcake is so simple to make that the children can do it.  Push white sugarpaste into the skeleton mould and when dry spray lightly with black edible lustre spray.  Attach our new candy eyeballs and finish off by painting on the nose and teeth features with a thin paintbrush and black paste colour.  Attach to the top of a cupcake covered in black sugarpaste and surround with Halloween bone sprinkles.  

Have you seen our new candy eyeballs?  Well they have certainly seen you!  There are 56 googly eyes in this pack and they can be used on absolutely anything to give some really funny expressions.  I have put them on a little alien here which is actually our snowman cutter turned upside down!

We had an overwhelming response to our lucky star competition launched on our sister site www.cakecraftshop.co.uk.  The lucky winner of the competition is

Jodie from Gillingham! 

Congratulations Jodie,

we will be in touch with you very soon.

Our Macmillan coffee morning was a great success, raising over £650 in just a few hours!  We had literally dozens of cakes donated to us and we were also offering a discount of 10% on all sales on the morning.  I did a demonstration with the amazing product cocoform, showing all the fantastic things you can do with this new chocolate medium. All in all, a great morning and I can't wait until the next one.

These pans are really effective and can be decorated in so many funky ways.  For the pumpkin I covered the cake with orange sugarpaste and then put the pan back on top to emboss the features into the top of the sugarpaste.  I then painted in the black features with food colour paste and used green sugarpaste to create the stalk and curly hair.  To get a fantasy feel to your pumpkin, spray the greenery with green lustre spray.

I decided to turn this great skull pan into a mummy by rolling out white sugarpaste, cutting it into long strips and laying them across the cake in no particular order.  Don't forget to make the scary eyes first so that they can poke through the bandages and for a really authentic effect, brush the bandges with brown and black dusting tints.  Finish off with these absolutely disgusting large black plastic spiders.

These little fellas were made with this set of cool ghost cutters.  I think they are very cute.

 I love these little critters but I cannot take the credit.  Our Managing Director was playing around with our new snowman cutter and realised that if you turn it upside down, it makes the best alien ever!  Use these monster/alien cupcake cases to make them really feel at home.

I hope you like my seasonal display cake.  I have tried to incorporate as many of our products as I can and I think the effect is quite 'spellbounding'.  For all of our amazing Halloween products please visit our Halloween section on both websites by clicking here and here!

The terrifying bats flying around the top of my Halloween cake are, believe it or not, serene beautiful doves really!  I thought very hard how to create these flying beasties and then came up with a plan.  I used the great set of 3 dove cutters with black florist paste instead of white.  I turned them upside down so that the body turned into a hump, cut a slit into the fantail to turn it into bat ears and the dove head became the tail of the bat....easy peasy, give it a try.
