Halloween Pictures!

Zombie Barbie Cake Order: Got this cake order for a Halloween part. It is pumpkin spice cake (& barbies dress), filled w/ vanilla mousse, topped w/ cream cheese frosting and topped with fondant. The headstones are chocolate made with a mold. The "blood" is dyed piping gel. I entered it into a Wilton Halloween cake contest- there will be a million entries so I know I wont win, but fingers crossed.
