Halloween 2026
Halloween bakes, made to order
Spooky, but make it taste good. Decorated cupcakes and cakes through October, made to order in Peterborough, and made to be eaten rather than photographed and abandoned.
(the black icing gets everywhere. worth it)
Ask by mid-October
Halloween is a fortnight of parties compressed into one weekend, and decorated work takes longer than plain. Mid-October is the point at which I start turning things down, so ask before then.
Everything made to order
The halloween menu
Tell me what you would like and roughly how many you are feeding, and I will come back with a price and confirm your date. Collection in Peterborough is free; local delivery is priced in your quote.
Decorated
Hand-piped cupcakes
Decorated for the night. Minimum 24 cupcakes.
Chocolate cake with coffee Swiss meringue buttercream
Decorated for Halloween, and still a proper cake underneath.
Gingerbread
Cut and iced by hand. It survives a party bag.
For the table
Triple chocolate brownies
Dark, milk and white in the same square.
Cookie boxes
Boxed up for a class or a party bag.
Decorated properly, not just dyed
Most Halloween baking is a normal cake with black food colouring on it. Decoration here is hand-piped and hand-cut: ghosts, webs, whatever the party has decided it is doing this year. The cake underneath is the same chocolate or vanilla I would send to a wedding, because a themed cake that tastes of nothing is a waste of everybody's evening.
Cupcakes for a room full of children
Cupcakes are the sensible Halloween order: one each, no cutting, no plates, and nobody fights over the corner piece. Minimum 24 cupcakes, up to 2 flavours, decorated for the night.
Gingerbread and biscuit boxes
Gingerbread takes decoration better than almost anything and survives being carried around a party in a small hand. Boxes of iced biscuits work for a class, a party bag, or an office that has committed to a theme it now regrets.
Halloween 2026
Spooky, but make it taste good.
Write to me with what you would like, how many you are feeding and the date you want it. I will confirm the lot and send a price. Seasonal orders are taken in small numbers so everything is baked in the week you collect it.
Halloween ordersHalloween questions
Can I order Halloween cupcakes in Peterborough?
Yes, hand-decorated and made to order through October, minimum 24 cupcakes with up to two flavours. Ask by mid-October, because decorated work takes longer and the last weekend fills first.
Do you do Halloween cakes for children's parties?
Yes. Tell me the age, the theme and how many you're feeding, and I'll come back with a price. Cupcakes are usually the easier order for a room full of children: one each and nothing to cut.
