Want a great idea for Halloween cakes? You can get as fancy as you want with the incredible Halloween cupcake ideas on the web. Halloween cakes can either be traditional sheet or layer cakes, or you can try making a cupcake cake, which makes it easy to divvy up pieces.
If you want to make a Halloween cupcake cake, decide on a design. For example, check out these nifty Halloween cupcake ideas.
Make a batch or two of cupcakes and then arrange them into the general shape of the character you want to make. For example, using the bat design from Cupcake Ideas Now! you can either make a round cake with the design on it, or use the shape of the bat as the shape of your cake.
You'll probably want to buy or make some fondant, gum paste, or sugar paste for layering on top. You can find a recipe at Kimberley Chapman's web site. The gum paste makes a nice flexible layer that will sit on top of a bunch of cupcakes, without falling apart or breaking along the spaces between the cupcakes.
Take your time and start simple, adding the big layers of color first. Then add details when the frosting has firmed up a little.
