Are you as obsessed with Halloween cakes as I am? Pastry chef Lia Weber<\/a> made the unicorn cake trend spooky with this amazing<\/em> unicorn witch cake for Halloween!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post is geared specifically toward intermediate and advanced bakers. It doesn’t cover how to bake the cake or how to achieve a smooth base coat of frosting. If you need help with those topics, I strongly recommend taking some online classes or with Lia directly (if you happen to be in St. Louis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tutorial focuses on which colors and tools to use to get the Halloween cake look once you already have a frosted cake, with an emphasis on how to create the witch unicorn horn. The horn is a fun idea that you could use on cupcakes as well!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
