Want a Halloween Nosh?


How about a nice cup
of tea or coffee
and some cookies?




Help yourself to the
cheese 'n fruit board as well.

It's "Sanderson Sisters Approved!"


Perhaps a wee slice of delicious cake?






Or maybe pie is more to your taste?




In any event,
here's lookin' at you, kid!

I love the winking eyes, as black as night.

I love the cake with the candy corn in the middle. It seems like a lot to make. I'd never be able to!
The two-tier haunted house cake is intriguing. The open gate looks real!

Bob said...

I am not a sweets fan but those cakes are fantastic. I love the ghost one ... but then those eyes in the last!

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

I love that black 🖤 teapot and cup and saucer!
All of the cakes are my favorites 🤤!
The pies are OK ... but the very last one ... I really don't want my pie looking at me! 👀LOL

@ Old Lurker -- You're so bad.

Cleora Borealis said...

Wow! Scary how creative some folks can be! The two skull/rainbow cakes remind me of my first tattoo....happy face with crossbones! Just because you're diabolical doesn't mean you can't be friendly and inclusive!! ☠🙂

e said...

These are wonderful! I am amazed at people's creativity when it comes to baking. I've never seen the eye tarts - very clever. And, the goth on the outside and happy/gay on the inside is fun.
Cheers~!

Leanna said...

Oh My Goddess! Everything looks so good. I love the Bat Tea Set. So cute! The cakes made me gain 25 lbs.

yellowdoggranny said...

oooooooooooh I love these so much..and want to make the pie and how to make the eye....oooh..

John M said...

That's a great collection. The treats with eyes startled me!

roentare said...

That skull cake is unbelievable!

Guillaume said...

There's a few of these cakes which I would love to try. Halloween is originally at least partially about harvest and food stocks. I blogged tonight about food, by the way, and will do it again soon.

Mike said...

I take the cookies. Nothing on cookies can scare me away. Except coconut.

Kelly Steel said...

Love all the foody Halloween themes!

Bill Lisleman said...

looks like the deserts are the treat this year. Don't need any candy with that nice spread.

Yvonne said...

Love everything about this post, especially the last two photos.

Mr. Shife said...

Those pies looked amazing. So much wonderful stuff. I need to get back to the kitchen. I enjoy making things and seems like a good time to do it.

Joanne Noragon said...

The chocolate cake with eyes finally got to me.

River said...

These are all amazing, thank you. I've sent a couple to a friend whose young son always has a halloween themed birthday party.

Kirk said...

Actually, that image (7th picture down) describes me quite well. At least at times.

Alison said...

Halloween themed china is on my bucket list! The problem with the desserts is they are just too gorgeous to eat.

Parnassus said...

Hello Debra, These are all great. I looked up that Not Quite Nigella blog--lots of good ideas there. I wish I had known some of these ideas when I was still baking!

I'm hungry. ; )

Liz Hinds said...

Oh no! I do not like the eye tarts! And I'm trying to work out how they made the black cake with the orange, yelow and white middle.

Tundra Bunny said...

@ Liz Hinds: it's not hard to make, just finicky. A conical mold is used to cut out the black (chocolate), yellow, orange and white layers from sheet cakes. Then these layers are assembled with black icing round each layer plus yellow and orange icing between those coloured cake layers. When the cake is sliced into, you then have the candy corn effect.

This N That said...

Great cakes..I hadn't seen them..The strawberry pie looks yummy..The eye pie is a little creepy...

Ur-spo said...

Marvelous ! What I would give for one of these sweeties

The Blog Fodder said...

The teapot is beautiful and the tarts with eyes are the best. Would love to make those

I am feeling very cranky and irritable. I am not happy that we have to spend another winter doing the same old thing again.
