Brain Cake

Braaaaaaains! Get your goo on.

Want to create your own sweet brain? All you have to do is cook your choice of vegan cake in a hemisphere cake tin, or this brains shape cake tin and then cut a little bit of the sides off so it’s more oval than round. Cover in vegan cream cheese then roll the marzipan into strips, sticking them in swirls onto the cream cheese icing layer. Slather in jam and serve. Additional idea: mould some wheat gluten into a brainy shape. It’s seitanic!

Ghastly Nachos

Once you get over the initial disgust (emetophobes, this one’s not for you!) you can appreciate how cool these nachos really are. All you have to do to make your own at home is find a small pumpkin, carve it, and position the chips, guacamole and salsa just right.

Skull Cake

Creepy! Luckily this skull is made from cake so don’t fear to crack straight into it.

Want to try it yourself? Just buy a skull-shaped cake tin and cook your choice of cake, then dust the completed cake with a thick layer of icing sugar. Remember to cover the eye sockets with foil whilst dusting and you can use a small wet brush to remove the excess from between the skull’s teeth.
