Black Jack O’Lantern
Here’s an introduction to a cake finished using a technique called “glacage chocolat,” where the cake is coated with a glossy chocolate sauce.
Because it uses black cocoa powder, it takes on a spooky, Halloween-appropriate black color.
Inside the coating are pumpkin cream and chocolate cream; each contains gelatin, so they hold their shape while still offering a smooth mouthfeel.
The process involves many steps and is quite authentic, but the result is a cake so polished you’d never guess it was homemade! Take a look at the recipe—if you think, “I could do this!” then definitely give it a try.
Monster Cupcake
By adding a simple touch to store-bought cupcakes, you can create uniquely original Halloween-style treats.
First, bake meringue into small round shapes.
Next, tint buttercream in your favorite color and pipe it onto the cupcakes.
Finally, pipe a dot of chocolate sauce in the center of each baked meringue, then attach them to the buttercream as monster eyes—and you’re done! Try changing the color of the cream, the number of eyes, or where you place them to create all kinds of monsters.
Creepy-cute purple sweet potato cake
This cake, based on purple and black, captures the spooky atmosphere of Halloween.
Its toxic-looking appearance might feel unsettling, but it’s made with black cocoa and purple sweet potato paste, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.
It’s important to consciously separate the black and purple components, as bringing out clear, vivid colors contributes to the beauty of the finished piece.
Thoughtful decoration is also key to creating a Halloween vibe—by finishing it cutely with ghost-shaped cookies and the like, it looks eerie yet still feels fun to eat.
