Since baking is also a hobby of mine, I couldn’t resist making a Halloween cake this year. It’ll probably feed me til Christmas, but anyway… Considering it’s made with very basic utensils (my only decoration aid was a kitchen knife), I think it turned out okay. The bottom tier is made of dark chocolate with a white chocolate mousse filling, and the top tier of white chocolate with a cream cheese filling. It’s covered with buttercream icing and handmade marzipan decorations.

Update, for the coming Halloween. I’m still letting one of my pumpkins model in my homemade Halloween mini-hat, but I’m showing some new pictures of it too. The hat is the first mini-hat I ever made, from black wool, orange satin and a bunch of decor in black, orange and green. It measures about 10,5 cm i height and the brim about 12,5 cm in diameter. Made from my own patterns.

…it felt fitting to make a new Halloween bracelet.

This is actually a bracelet and necklace combined – designed to go once around the neck, or twice around the wrist. It features a Jack-O’Lantern, a spider, a skeletal hand, a bat and vampire teeth, with a combination of glass beads and crystals in orange, white, black and green. Among them are some of my personal favorites, the Cat’s Eye pearls, which have a beautiful shine. The pearls range in size from 2.7 to 8 mm in diameter.
