Bakers are constantly pushing the boundaries of cake design. With each passing season, the cakes get more elaborate and the details get more intricate.

With limitless options of how to create a cake that makes us shake in our boots, inspiration lurks behind every door.

Others channeled the eerie allure of Victorian gothic skulls or blood-splattered tiers in their cake designs. No matter if these cakes were at a Halloween party or even at the center of a wedding, we guarantee you'll sleep with one eye open and a fork in hand after taking a peek at these ghoulish sweet treats.
