Adventures in making Martha Stewart's Haunted Halloween Cake
Warning some halloween adventures are harder than others!!
Last year one of the stellar ideas I got from Martha Stewart Living for my murder mystery party was this 8 layer haunted house cake. Grant it I'm not a professional baker, and in the past I had some not-so-great experiences trying some other MS halloween cake ideas (which aren't always the simplest for civilians like me to produce). Yet, I attempted this gem of an idea anyway.So here's a warning for all those 'creatives' out there thinking they can do these recipes...an 8" round baking pan is not the same as a 9" and the stacking of a cake is seriously affected by the thickness of the cake. If you've never made a tiered cake perhaps there should be a difficulty level symbol starring this particular recipe to let you know you may be getting way over your head the day before 12 people are coming over for a murder mystery!
Lastly, you can be sure there were many a professional involved in the making and photographing of this marvelous Martha cake.

SWEET CAKE! save me a piece! Are those windows sugar? there are these great sugar architecture competitions that are really bad-ass you should look them up.
