Halloween wedding cakes

Halloween wedding cakes that will make you quake in your boots (while wanting to stuff your face!)

I fell down the rabbit hole of intricate and detailed wedding cakes and found some SPECTACULAR Halloween wedding cakes by the always amazing UK-based Black Cherry Cake Company. ‘Tis the season to make lists of all the Halloween movies to watch while crafting up wedding decor and favors, so be inspired by these cakes.

We’ve got Frankenweenie, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Walking Dead, Disney Halloween, Alien, Twin Peaks, Hannibal, and more. The mash-up cakes are particularly epic. Get ready to have your Halloween-loving mind blown…

This Lord of the Rings wedding cake by Hope’s Sweet Cakes is totally going to be My Precious. I’m loving the four tiers of books: The Hobbit, Fellowship, Two Towers, and Return of the King. Any bookish and/or fantasy wedding would rock the shit out of this cake.
