Skeleton Graveyard Cake
No bones about it, this graveyard cake is spooky and tasty. For the decorations, pipe meringue into bone shapes and bake to set.
White Ghost Cake
A generous amount of frosting -- swirled on to look like ghostly capes -- makes a hauntingly cool impact on a basic cake. Dollop on a generous swirl of whipped topping to form ghost bodies, then add dots of black icing to serve as curious eyes.
Editor's Tip: Add black and orange sprinkles or colored sugar for even more of a Halloween touch to this ghastly ghost cake.
Jack-o'-Lantern Cake
With bright orange frosting and chocolate wafer Jack-o'-lanterns, this cake can be as friendly -- or as frightening -- as you'd like. To make, simply frost a layer cake with orange icing, then put the remainder of the icing into a cake decorating bag (fitted with a 1 or 2 tip) and pipe faces onto the cookies . Place your Jack-o'-lantern creations on top of and around the base of the Halloween cake.
Pumpkin Halloween Cake
With its gumdrop stem, pumpkin shape, and pumpkin flavor, this cake both looks and tastes like Halloween . A rolled-out and curled strip of gumdrop creates the cute vines attached to the stem.
Editor's Tip: Roll out some black gumdrops and cut into triangle shapes and assemble on the cake to create an edible Jack-o'-lantern, or use tubed chocolate frosting to pipe on the final touches.
Scaredy-Cat Ice Cream Cake
With brownies and ice cream creating this cake, the black cat won't be the only one grinning. Use green apple-flavored twist candy for whiskers, gumballs for eyes, and sweet orange and yellow dyed fondant for that signature black cat grin.
Chocolate Spider Cake
With a cake body and rolled wafer cookie legs, this Halloween spider cake is more likely to make your guests delightful than frightful. Use licorice, chocolate pieces, and other candies to create the creepy crawler's face.

Lollipop Halloween Cake
Transform a round layer cake from ordinary to extraordinary just in time for Halloween by using chocolate frosting and lollipops. To make, trim lollipop sticks so the candy portion just peeks out over the edge of the cake. Next remove wrappers and press into the side of the cake to create a festive and whimsical edge.
Eyeball Pie

Editor's Tip: To turn up the fright level, serve the eyeball pie on a place mat of purple monster fur.
Orange-Chocolate Cake
What this Halloween cake lacks in fright it makes up for in design. To make, use a fork to trace wavy lines into the frosting, then top the cake with candied orange slices.
Editor's Tip: Add an extra Halloween touch by piping "Happy Halloween" or "Boo!" on the sides or top of the cake with tubed orange frosting.

Halloween Witch Cake
Two stacked angel food cakes (tinted with green food coloring) create this wicked witch's face, decorated with dyed green frosting and other tasty treats.
