cake-spectation - Positive! Haunted house cake
First pic is from the recipe book, second is mine. Not perfect but I think I did a decent job. Happy Halloween!

Love this! 🖤 also though do a quick google on what happens after eating black icing so that you don’t scare yourself tomorrow.

After studying both, I do agree, but I wish the lines on the windows were a bit thicker and that extra tracing around the outside was there, and not just the one lining the windows.

I need to add a thicker line decorating tip to my collection. I did double lines around the windows and somehow they ended up right next to each other.

With a closer look, I do see the double lines. It's still a fantastic cake either way.

Me too! I was thinking it was more pictures of the same cake. Very impressive, I could never come close to making something like this

It’s in the book Ghost Food by Cayla Gallagher. I used black cocoa powder instead of black food dye

The glowing yellow windows against dark frosting look so atmospheric for Halloween 🎃
