Try topping them with icing ghosts, jelly snakes, or themed toppers. You can also order personalised cupcakes from bakerdays featuring Halloween designs and messages.

Turn your cake cutting into a party moment. Add a “surprise inside” by filling your cake with orange and black candies or jelly beans. When sliced, it’ll reveal a fun, spooky surprise that guests will love.
