Liven Up Your Party! Handmade Halloween Cake Ideas (11–20)
Ghostly Brownie
Let’s combine store-bought snacks to make easy Halloween treats! This recipe is perfect when you don’t have much time to prepare for a Halloween party.
These cute ghost brownies are made by pairing store-bought brownies with marshmallows.
All you do is stack the brownies and marshmallows on a baking sheet and toast them.
For the finishing touch, decorate them by drawing faces with chocolate.
Of course, if you have extra time, making the brownies from scratch would be a hit too.
Pumpkin baked cheesecake
A baked cheesecake that brings out the natural sweetness of pumpkin might be an easy-to-eat Halloween treat for seniors as well.
Adorned with a stylish, Halloween-like spiderweb pattern, it’s perfect as a dessert for a Halloween party! The recipe uses up a full carton of heavy cream and a full block of cream cheese, making it easy to prepare.
Drawing the spiderweb pattern may be a bit tricky, but the key is to move the toothpick slowly and carefully to create the design.
And one of the best things about a whole cake is the excitement of slicing it up!
Halloween cupcake
Let’s make the perfect cupcakes to add a cute touch to your Halloween party! Cupcakes are great even for beginners at homemade treats—just mix the ingredients and bake, so there’s less chance of failure.
Plus, if you bake them in muffin cups from a 100-yen shop, they make perfect party favors! You can keep the cake plain or add cocoa for a more grown-up flavor.
Top them with pumpkin cream for decoration, and you’ll capture the full Halloween vibe!
Halloween donut(s)
How about some fun-looking, bite-sized Halloween donuts that are easy to eat? If you use pancake mix, even beginners can make them with ease! First, whisk the eggs, then mix in milk, pancake mix, and sugar to make the donut batter.
Cook the batter into little balls using a takoyaki maker, and you’re done! Once they’re cooked, stick in picks, coat them with chocolate or white chocolate, and use chocolate pens to draw patterns like ghosts or mummies for a Halloween vibe.
Try designing freely with chocolate pens in different colors!
In conclusion
I’ve shared some recommended recipes for those thinking of making a cake for Halloween.
Did any of the cakes make you want to try making one? Even if you feel that cake-making is a bit daunting, there are easy recipes that use store-bought items, so please use them as a reference and have a fun Halloween!
