PrintHalloween food ideas are a popular topic this season. If you want a fun dessert idea for your Halloween party, try this amazing Halloween Rainbow Party Bundt Cake Recipe. Orange, Purple, Black and chocolate all mix together into a fun, spooky dessert everyone will remember. They’ll think you really fussed, but it’s so easy and simple to make.
I made a video to show you how simple this is and I couldn’t resist getting into one of my costumes for the fun of it. You’ll find the full recipe below my video. When you watch the video, be sure to click through to YouTube and subscribe to my channel and comment on the video!
Ingredients
- 1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix
- Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
- 1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® Dark Chocolate cake mix
- Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
- Black food coloring
- Purple food coloring
- Orange food coloring
- 1 (12 oz) can Betty Crocker® Whipped Fluffy White Frosting
Directions:
Heat oven to 325°F. Generously grease a 12-cup tube cake pan. Make cake batters as directed on boxes. Divide the white cake into two separate bowls.
Add orange food coloring to one bowl and mix to the desired color. Then, add purple to the other and mix to the desired color.
Pour 2/3 of the chocolate cake batter into a bowl and mix with a few drops of the black food coloring. Discard the remainder of the batter or use it for cupcakes. (You only need 2/3 of the chocolate cake batter, because if you use the whole thing in won’t fit in the tube pan).
Pour 1/2 of the chocolate cake mix into the bottom of the greased pan. Carefully pour the purple over the chocolate making sure you don’t stir it. Just pour it on top.
Then, carefully pour the orange batter over the purple batter and pour in the remainder of the chocolate.
Bake as directed on box or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes.
Turn pan upside down onto cooling rack that is placed over a cookie sheet. Cool cake completely, about 30 minutes.
Once cake is cool, equally divide your frosting into 3 bowls. Use the food coloring again to make one bowl orange, one purple and one black.
Microwave each bowl of frosting for a few seconds on high until it is smooth enough to drizzle over the cake. With a spoon, drizzle the black frosting back and forth around the whole ring in a striping pattern until you use it all. Then do the same with the purple and then the orange.
Set cake aside to dry.
Store loosely covered and unrefrigerated.
Cake can be made a day or two in advance.

Hello Sugar!
This is my very first time visiting your site. I had come across an bundt cake recipe for a St Patricks Day cake from one of your other followers. So I was really interested on how she had made such a beautiful green St.Patty’s Day bundt cake and she referred her recipe idea and technique to you and your site. I just finished watching how you did your Halloween cake which was so beautiful. I am going to make one for St.Patrick’s Day and will share my out come with you. Thanks for you site, I use to love to bake but got a way from it after a divorce and my kids going out on their own. Now I believe Im ready now to just enjoy baking again and experimenting and baking for holidays and other occassions. Will keep in touch and let you know how I do. God Bless and Hugs to you. Brenda
Brenda,

I’m making a Christmas version this week, with red green and white. I’m really excited to see how to turns out!
Oh I am sure it will turn out great. Enjoy!
I made one in fall colors, chocolate, yellow and orange. Took it to my grandkids school for a cake auction. Sold for $14. Going to make some of the Cristmas ones and use a little peppermint schnapps in the green. I also made two of the Halloween cakes. Gave one to the neighbors and took one to my in-laws, was a big hit at both places. Thanks!
WOW! That is so great. Thanks for the wonderful feedback.
You made my day.
What an awesome idea. Even though halloween has passed, i might give it a try. Have you, or anyone you know of, done a Christmas version? I was thinking…white cake, with green and red food colouring, red, green and white icing..i guess that would mean 2 boxes of white cake mix..?
Yes Doreen I have done a Christmas one. Check it out.
http://www.cookingwithsugar.com/rainbow-tie-dye-christmas-wreath-bundt-cake/
Awesome! Thanks so much
Made this for work and it turned out perfect!
Thank you! I have made this cake three times since I saw it on your blog. It’s a hit!
Too fun! I’m so glad you liked it.
looks sooo good
sent it to my friends n pinned it on pinterest
Thanks for the post:)
SUGAR,I could only find wilton icing colors concentrated gel will that be ok? can i also use tripe chocolate fudge cake mix since the store was out of dark chocolate.
The color may not be as dark but it will be fine. That cake wix will work too.
please can someone email me the recipe I can’t get the printable version and I really want to make it PLEASE.
I made this for a party last nite and it turned out awesome, thank you so much for this wonderful idea. Wish I could show photo’s.
Marlene
Cake tasted great but unfortunately I couldn’t get the vibrant colors because Wilton food coloring is not made in a nut free facility and my son has serious peanut and tree nut allergies. The McCormick food coloring just couldn’t get the job done. Oh well!
I am hoping to make this cake in the next couple of days. I was reviewing my ingredients and accidentally bought the Wiltons Icing Color Gel (rather than a liquid). Will that still work or should I try to exchange it? Also, I don’t usually buy box cake mixes. Do you think this will work with any homemade chocolate and white cakes? Thanks so much for showing your creativity and helping us find ours also.
That should work just fine. The color may not be as dark but it should be fine. I only use the box cake to save time. Home made cake will be super. Enjoy!
Making this today for my sons cake walk at school. I can’t wait to see how it turns out
Great to hear. I’m sure it will turn out great.
I cannot wait to bake this cake!
Any suggestions?
Although, I’m am having the worst time trying to print it. I really don’t want to sit here and copy the directions and ingredients word for word. (I know, I’m lazy
Oh no honey you can print all of my recipes by going to the icons at the bottom of the post where it says sharing is careing. The last icon in that row is a print one and you can print with or without photos. If you have any trouble let me know.
Very cool cake. I made one and took it to work. Lots of co-workers “WOWed” over it. It was tasty too. Thank you for a easy baking “wow” idea.
So happy to hear it Betty. Thanks for the feedback.
I’m featuring your wicked cool cake on my blog today.
http://www.whitelightsonwednesday.com/2012/10/15-ghoulishly-good-foods.html
Oh thanks.
Can you use devils food cake mix?
Sure Anita that will be fine.
Hi Sugar I made it today and turned out fine.THANKS
I made this cake for our fall festival. Everyone LOVED it. I will make this again, and it was easy to make… The video helped a lot.
Oh great to know Julie.
I made this today & everyone loved it. I posted a pic on facebook and someone mentioned that the chocolate in the middle made spooky eyes, lol!
Oh so great to hear.
.I have Birthday on Halloween
Thanks for the idea from Germany ! 😀
How fun enjoy
I made the Halloween bundt cake and it came out great! It is beautiful on the inside and out and it tastes delicious!
Nikki,
Thanks for the great feedback.
Sugar
What type of pan did you use for this cake?
I used a 10 inch Bundt pan or tube pan as some call it, that holds about 10-12 cups.
I DEFINATLY PLAN ON MAKING THIS BUT I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU
A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I USED THIS TYPE OF FOOD COLORING (DIFF BRAND) FOR RED AND BLACK, NOW I HAD NO ISSUE W/ THE TASTE OF FROSTING BUT IT STAINED MY GUESTS’ TEETH RED/BLACK. HAVE YOU NOTICED THIS ISSUE W/ MCCORMICK BRAND?
THANKS
I didn’t have that problem but it is food coloring so it’s possible that could happen.
I can’t wait to make the bundt cake! Your videos are very cute:)
turned out amazing , cant wait to make it for halloween , tonight everyone asked me how i learned it and how i made it
my reply was simpley with sugars help and gave them your website 
thanks love your stuff with email you a picture tommarow 
~ Ash
Great to hear.
Just wanted you to know that a year later, this cake is still making people smile. I am turning it into cupcakes this week for a fall festival cake walk. Can’t wait to see the kids reactions as they bight into it and see all the colors.
Oh how fun. Glad to hear!
I’m making these for a Halloween party doing cupcakes instead! Can’t wait!
Oh how fun.
Wow! I made this easy cake for a party, and what a hit! Thanks for the great idea, everyone wanted the recipe…
Kara thanks for the feedback. I’m so happy to hear it. I hope you told them to check out my website. XXOO
Wondering if it could be done in red and white, add some peppermint flavoring, then crushed candy canes to the top after the red and white icing. Candy cane cake for Christmas?
Sure Kelly that would be great! Enjoy
Beautiful! Is a 12 c. Bundy pan acceptable?
This is gorgeous! Can’t wait to make it for our Halloween party! Thank you so much! I pinned you!
***Bundt lol autocorrect!
Yes the 12 cup will work just fine.
Thanks for this wonderful idea! I found you on pinterest and I made one in my son’s football team colors. It looks awesome! Thanks again!
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. I’m sure that turned out great. Be sure to share my site with friends and family.
I am making this today!!! Looks amazing! My kids will be so excited when they come home from school!!!
Great honey enjoy it.
I’m making this in a few weeks for my mother-in-law’s birthday. I know she’s going to love it!
Very Fun. Happy Birthday to her.
I made my batter with duncan hynes, and my batter was a bit thicker then on the video.
Im hoping that it will turn out great because its going to be my birthday cake for 3 october.
Jenny, I’m sure it will be just fine. Have a very Happy Birthday.
I just thought that was the cutest cake , I’m thinking that I could rework that for a Christmas cake, kinda like a wreath, what do you think
Thanks
Yes this will work with all types of colors and holidays.
I SOOOOO Can’t wait to try this puppy out. The cake part. I’ve been looking for some way to incorporate Red and Black and then decorate it with some creepy design. I love bundt cakes and have made quiet a few. Have a Death by Dark Chocolate (8 different forms of chocolate ladies!) and I am thrilled to try this one out.
Though I’m gonna change it up a little bit, sugar if you don’t mind? I want to use same Dark Chocolate cake mix, but instead of white, I’m gonna use Red Velvet! Get different degress of Red thrown amongst the black of the dark chocolate.
Then seemlessly cover it with my secret Dark Chocolate sauce with 3 different types of chocolate sauce and fill the center hole until it’s almost level……..then decorate it with white piping and a touch of red here and there.
What’s your email address? I’ll send you pictures
Yum! Yum! That sounds great. If you can post the photo to my facebook page or email me. It’s up to you

Hi Sugar , I was wondering have you ever made a red and green for christmas i am having a party and i think that would be awesome.
Yes it comes out great! Enjoy and be sure to post pictures on my Facebook page.

Deena, I’m so happy to hear that. Thanks for the feedback and do be sure to share my site with your family and friends on Facebook. Oh and do post the photos to my facebook page.
Sugar,
I am getting the ingredients together today to make the

I am very sure that it will be a hit with my husband and my children..
So much so, that I will probably make it again in time for Halloween..
Thanks for the post and recipe.. I don’t know if your on Pintrest?
But, I would like to follow you if you are..
So glad you like it. I’m sure they are going to think it’s super cool.
Here is my Pintist page.

Thanks for the feedback.
This is so pretty! I’m going to try it will all kinds of holidays. Thanks for the great idea!
Great Diane. I’m sure you will love it.
Great cake!
Thanks
All I can say is OMG! Out of all my friends, I’m the baker/dessert maker. I’m always the one told to bring dessert. Can’t wait to present this one. This looks awesome!! I did a practice run before our Halloween party, of course there are no complaints about having a cake in the house. I did make 6 cupcakes w the left over black batter, I cheated by stealing a spoonful of the purple & orange batter. My kids were so surprised when they bit into them seeing the multi colors. Thx for posting this awesome recipe. One question, if I want to try this w, say part of the cake white. (ex red, white, blue, 4th July), would the white remain white, or would the colors run into it?
So glad you liked it. Yes you can do red, white and blue. You can see it here.
Enjoy! and let me know how it turns out.
http://www.cookingwithsugar.com/firecracker-bundt-cake-an-explosive-red-white-and-blue-dessert/
Sorry, another question. Do you think I’d be able to make this in a 9×13 pan for a school bake sale? Do you think when cutting it, it will have the same color effect as the bundt? Oh, thx for showing me the red, white & blue cake. This cake will be made many times with different color themes.
Sure you can do it in a 9×13 it will look a little different but it will be great.
I can’t wait to make this for our halloween party this year! What fun this will be to make and to eat!! 😀 I’m so glad I stumbled upon this and thank you sooooooo much for sharing it!. I am not very good with measurements though :(, how do I figure out how to only use 2/3 of the chocolate cake batter?
Hi Hope,
The best thing to do is eyeball your bunt pan and just make sure you have about two inches of pan left after you fill it so you give it enough room to rise. You don’t need to be too exact with the measurement. The main issue is that you can’t fit all the mix into the pan so you need to leave some out.
Hey sugar absolutely adore your videos im a 13 year old and i love to cook and find this recipe fun and easy to make but i had to substitute some of the ingredients because i live i the uk.
Please keep making videos
Thank you for the feedback. It’s so nice to see young cooks getting creative. Good for you.
Keep cooking! XXOO
This looks amazing!!! I can’t wait to try it this Halloween!
my boyfriend’s birthday is on halloween…. I’m definitely gonna make this for him! :3
Great be sure to post a photo.
Making this now for our neighbors in Ohio State colors, red, black and white. Even with wilton colors, red is a tough make!!! Have made this for Christmas, Halloween, and other non holidays that my former co-workers decided I had to make a cake for!!!!
Oh how fun. Be sure to let me know how it turns out. If you can post a photo on my facebook page. Enjoy!

I have this in the oven right now — just White cake mix though in Mardi Gras colors — yellow, purple (though not Wilton Purple — just red/blue food coloring… not as bold), and green! Hoping to amaze the coworkers tomorrow!
Kasie,
Oh how fun. I’m sure they will love it. Keep me posted.
😉
Sugar
Going to try this as King cake for Mardi Gras. Let you know soon. Diana
Yes Diana it will be so pretty. Have fun with it.
Sugar
I love it and I can’t waite to do it i’m only 13 and I love it …… Hope you get my comment
Reem,
I’m so glad you like it. It is a fun cake to make. Have fun.
Even though my Christmas decoration are not all put away, we are already planning Halloween 2012. We usually have a huge theme party with about 100 – 150 guest. We’ve usually catered, but this year we want to add a bit of fun to the menu. I love all the Halloween ideas and plan on using them. Thanks for sharing.
Mary,
Halloween is a fun time of the year. That does sound like a huge party. I’m sure they will love this cake. Very Fun!
Sugar
I so love this, I plan on doing one with a Yellow cake mix and making the rest green and red!
Yes it will come out great Shirley. I just made one for Christmas and sent the photos to Betty Crocker. I’ll put mine up next week. Happy Holidays.
Sugar
This is a wonderful idea. Since I just found this post and Halloween has passed I thought it would be a cool idea to use red, green and white for Christmas. I will send a picture as soon as I make it.
Yes Chrissy it will look beautiful with any color. I’m making one for Christmas too.
Have a wonderful holiday and be sure to post the photo to my facebook fan page.
Sugar
Made it for Halloween and it was a hit…didn’t have the bright colors, but it still looked good. Tasted even better!!
Change the colors a bit, and you have a CAMO cake. My hunter hubby and daughter have each requested one for their birthdays! Changed the colors to tan, dark brown, and darker green and it looked great.
Kim,
I’m so glad you liked it. I have to do it with those colors too. It will work for so many holiday ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Sugar
I tried to make this cake and it all stuck to the bundt pan
did you use olive oil to grease it?
Oh Natalia,
I’m so sorry honey. Yes you always need to grease the pan when making a cake. If you read my directions I say to “Generously grease a 12-cup tube cake pan” Give it another try and grease the pan it will be fine.
Sugar
I just pulled the cake out of the oven, can’t wait to finish decorating. You are so right about using Wilton food coloring, so vibrant and bright!
Annette,
Oh how fun. I can’t wait for you to slice into it. Enjoy
I made this last night, and it turned out pretty good, not as pretty as yours, but it is cute and delicious!
Whitney I am sure it turned out great. You can see a bunch of photos of the ones that people uploaded to my facebook fan page. There are so many fun versions of it. Check it out.
Sugar
Thanks for the great tutorial. I made this cake last night because we had company over and it was great. I love the colors and it was perfect for Halloween. Here’s how mine turned out:

Kendale,
You can post it on Facebook or email it to me. Keep me posted and have fun.
Sugar
Mine’s in the oven right now and I made some cupcakes with this idea too. I’ll post pictures of the finished product!!
Great I can’t wait to see it.

Super easy, and looks great. Hint, just don’t try to find orange and black food coloring the day before Halloween!
Here’s a shot of the finished project.

OH Joyce that is so funny. I bet they were out of those colors pretty fast. The cake turned out great! Thanks so much for sharing.
Sugar
I just found this last night and have bookmarked it! I am wanting to do one for our football gathrings – Seattle Seahawks fans here. I think a dark blue and neon green combo will look awesome. Thank you for posting this!
Yes that is a great idea Caroline. Have fun making it.
Sugar
I just need to now find navy blue and neon green food coloring…lol.
Caroline
Caroline,
I don’t know if Wilton has a navy blue but I know that Betty Crocker makes neon colors. They come in a set at the super market.
Good luck and keep me posted.
Sugar
Made this cake for two different Halloween Parties. Great reactions when it’s cut and served and not a crumb left. Thanks for some great food ideas and recipes!
Jerry,
I’m so happy to hear that. Thanks for taking the time to post your feedback.
Sugar
The only thing I changed was instead of spooning the icing on I put it into bags and cut the tips off and did it that way. Definitely faster and you get the same affect. Only problem I had was that the black Wilton icing dye I used tastes real funky. Way too sweet. Next time I won’t use the black icing.
Sounds great Gen. Try the McCormick black I didn’t notice a flavor issue with that one.
Sugar
Here is mine!

Robin, It will look great anyway.

I picked up a Devil’s Food mix instead of the dark chocolate. Will that turn out just as well?
jeanne, that will work just fine. Enjoy!

Hello, Sugar!
Okay. I must first confess. I’m a guy. And I cook. And I am a subscriber to your channel.
I made this cake this evening, and I gotta tell you, you are a genius. This recipe is super easy to follow, your directions crystal clear, and the results are phenomenal. This is going to be a huge hit at my friends’ Halloween Bash.
Thanks for all that you do.
Clay,
I seem to have a big following of men who love to cook, so I have decided to change my tag line soon to say “inspiring people to cook again” I never wanted to exclude men it was just that when I started my site is was to inspire and help the women I knew personally. My friends and neighbors mostly. I have learned now that there are way more men out there like you. Thank you for sharing this with me. I am happy to inspire anyone to get back in the kitchen and enjoying all that comes from it.
Be sure to tell your friends and family about my site. Oh and enjoy the wonderful ohhs and ahhs you are going to get when you serve that cake. It’s fun to cook things that people enjoy.
Sugar
wow amazing. i translate your recipe in german, so i can cook this cake with german ingredients.
Wow Vanessa that is so cool. Have fun baking it.
Sugar
While this is a really cute Halloween cake, orange and purple are also the colors of the Clemson University Tigers! This is a PERFECT cake for tailgating at the games! I can’t wait to make this with my girls for our next home game. Thanks so much!
Oh yes great idea be sure to upload a photo if you make it
Sugar
I LOVE THIS IDEA! I ACTUALLY MADE CUPCAKES WITH 3 DIFFERENT COLORS AND 2 DIFFERENT COLORED ICINGS! TOOK THEM TO MY JOB AND EVERYBODY LOVED THEM! THE COLLORS CAME OUT GREAT! I USED ORANGE PURPLE AND DARK GREEN FOR THE CAKE AND MADE ORANGE AND A GRAY ICING!
How fun! Thanks so much for the feedback I’m glad it worked out
Sugar
I made this last night with my 7 year old. We used a 9×13 pan because it was what we had. It came out great and he had so much fun helping. Thanks for the creativity! I sent the rest of the cake with a friend for her bake sale. I am hoping it is a hit. I hope you try the turkey idea. That would be awesome!
Oh I am so glad it turned out well. Thank you for your feedback. I love hearing it!
Sugar
this cake looks great! going to a party this weekend and i have decided to try it – the kids and adults will love it i think! im usually a “side dish” girl, so this is a bit of a departure … hope i can do it justice! thanks for the great idea!
I’m sure it will wrk out great! Have fun and keep me posted.
Sugar
Love this! What a “WOW” factor. I think you could make a Thanksgiving Turkey with colorful fethers. Will YOU try to do it? I would love to see one!
Gayle,
That is a fun idea. I will try to come up with something.
Sugar
I made this cake today..Turned out great..Taking to a Halloween party tomorrow..Thanks for sharing the receipe..
Tammy honey. Hi!!!
I’m so glad it turned out well. Wish I was going to the party with you. Have fun and tell Randy I send my love.
Hugs and Kisses,
Sugar
Not sure if this was asked here, but could the same technique be used for cupcakes? It seems a bit more labor intense for cupcakes but I’m sure it would be worth it. How about a regular 13×9 pan? Would you have to swirl the batters if it’s not in a Bundt pan? This cake looks awesome!!!! Great job!!!
Samantha,
Sure you can do cupcakes and a 9×13. You will have a different look but it should be great. Give it a try.
Happy Baking,
Sugar
I’m taking this to a Halloween party on Saturday. Thank you!!
Meghann,
That sounds great. Have fun and be sure to tell your friends and family about my site.
Sugar
Dear Sugar
Great cake. Does it work best with the supermoist cake mix ? as I am in the UK and we don’t seem to have supermoist ? would the normal Betty Crocker cake mix work ? thank you
Karen,
Hi, I like the supermoist but you can use the regular Betty Crocker too and it will be fine. Happy Baking!
Sugar
this lookslike areally neat cake. i will definitely make one
Great Sandy! Have fun with it.
Sugar
That is so awsome! The colors are so vibrant! I definetly am gonna try this, it looks delicious!
Thanks the Wilton Icing Coloring is what does it and the Betty Crocker cake and Icing makes it yummy!
Sugar
Could you use green food coloring instead of purple?
Rayna,
Sure you can. Happy Baking!
Sugar
I sure wish you had been around 30 years ago when I was making cakes for my kids Halloween Cake Walks at school. I made “cat” cakes for them every year and they are so time consuming to make. I was going to bake one for my grand-daughter this year, but after seeing this fantastic cake I just have to make it for her. Especially since her favorite color is purple. Thanks so much for this recipe.
Oh how sweet. I’m so glad you are going to make the cake for her. If you want that bright color be sure to pick up some Wilton Icing Color at Micheal or other craft stores.
Happy Baking.

Hi I made this cake yesterday and it was a hit! I didn’t have purple food coloring but I had a gray silver one. My cake still came out pretty though. I’ll send you a picture of what was left of the cake. Put I’m writting this on my phone so I’m wondering how to send you a picture from my phone.
Elleen,
I’m so glad it was a hit. Yes please send me your photo. Just email it to info@cookingwithsugar.com or post it to my Facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/CookingwithSugar
Thanks for the feedback. It makes my day to know that people are trying my recipes.
Sugar
This cake looks SOOOOO YUMMY and BEAUTIFUL! I am off to the store to get all the ingredients. I will send you a photo when I’m done.
I think this cake can be done any time of the year. . . just change the food coloring to fit the occasion! Red and pink for Valentines! Green for St. Patty’s! The birthday boy or girl’s favorite colors! Pastels for spring! Too fun!
Thanks for such a wonderful idea!
Cheryl, Yes I have done it many ways. Have fun makig it and thanks so much for the nice feedback.
Sugar :0
Oh my goodness I absolutely LOVE this! I am going to make it tomorrow for our annual family pumpkin carving get together
Am I able to find the food coloring in those colors at any local grocery store or WalMart?
Ali,
Hi, I’m so glad you like the cake. You can get food coloring at the super market but it’s not very bright so it is hard to get these colors but you can get close. If you can stop into a Michaels or other craft store and pick up Wilton icing coloring. The colors are very intense and look amazing.
Have fun and be sure to let me know how it turns out.
So cute!
What a great idea, you are absolutely right about getting the food coloring at craft store, I tried making orange myself last week and it was a lovely shade of pink that would not go anywhere!
Course the kids loved it anyway.
Thanks for a great idea!
Marion
That is so true. You can get just about any color at the craft store and that stuff is soooo strong.
Thanks for the feedback and have a Happy Halloween.
Sugar
We tried this cake yesterday. It was great! We had put it in a pumpkin pan to bake for I didn’t have a bundt pan. It was so fun. The kids love it. Thank you for sharing. Oh,we made mini cupcakes and mini ghost cakes with the left over batter. They are so cute! I think your idea for this cake is the best! I can’t get over how pretty it is.
Amber,
I’m so excited that you made it and it turned out great. Thanks so much for giving me your feedback. I try very hard to come up with fun new ideas so it thrills me when people actually make them.
Hugs,
Sugar
Such a simple idea yet it is so effective. I made one just for fun not Halloween themed, it turned out great! Thanks so much !! 😀
Angela,
I’m so glad you tried it. Thank you for your feedback. I love hearing that people are trying my stuff.
Hugs,
Sugar

Thanks for the feedback and for featuring my cake.
Happy Halloween,

Hi! Has anyone ever tried this in a regular cake pan? I need to bake a cake for alot of people and I think a bundt cake won’t be enough
thanks
Melissa,
I haven’t but I’m sure it would work. Give it a try and let me know.
Happy Halloween,
Sugar
Ummm, it’s the same amount of cake, whether in a bundt pan or a 9×13. Sliced correctly, it will feed a lot more than it appears.
ML
Yes it can feed a bunch but it’s so easy to make if anyone is concerned about not having enough cake just make two. They are so easy it’s not that much extra work.
Sugar
That is amazing! This would be so great for our Halloween Recipe Blog Hop! http://is.gd/X7I9XV
Oh I will have to check that out.
Thanks,
Sugar
Wow! This looks awesome. I’ll definitely be making one of these soon!
Thanks for the idea, love it.

I know I love it too. It is a fun time of the year. If you make it be sure to tell me how it works out.
Sugar
aaaa you little saint ;-; I’ve been testing out different food colorings and they always seem to turn out so pale after I bake whatever I put them in. Thanks for the tip; I might make this!
Oh good give it a try. I know it will work out great.

Hi, I can’t see the recipe for the Halloween Bundt Cake ;(. Can someone help me navigate on here? Only half the page comes up, even half of my reply becomes hidden to the right. Thanks

I stay out of the Kitchen, it’s better for my home insurance that way hahah. Any tips for a newbie? I was unjustly made dessert guy for the office Halloween party and I really like this cake.
Dillon,
No need to fear the kitchen. This recipe is like those cook books for dummies. It’s so easy you can absolutely do it and it will be a hit. Give it a try and let me know how it goes. Just do it like I have done it on my video.

We just had a family reunion on Oct 1st for my husbands family. I decided that since we were in the month of halloween, I would attempt to make this beautiful cake. IT WAS A HIT!!! My mother is a known cake decorator in our town, and she thought this was really great. I loved the simplicity of it. Thank you so much for sharing. I am so very glad I stumbled upon your website. I now have “Cooking With Sugar” app on my iPhone. You are great and thanks again.
Leigh,
You are so sweet for writing me and making my day. Some days I think I’m silly for spending so much time with my recipes, photos and stuff and then I get great feedback like this and it makes it all worthwhile. I hope to spread my love of cooking one kitchen and one person at a time. Please be sure to pass my site on to friends and family.
Happy Cooking

Is the app on the android market??? i am not able to find it… i would love to have this app!
Brittany, No android yet. I wish I did.
Sugar
What a great idea! I’m also thinking about all the other holidays that this can be customized for. Thanks so much for sharing!
I know Renee. It’s a great fun way to make a cake.
I’m going to be doing a bunch of them with other themes. Thanks for the feedback.
I just found a site that sells decorative cupcake wraps. I wonder if i could make cupcakes like this.
Donna,
Sure you can. I was going to make them for a party like that too. Just a bunch of fun ways to get creative. Go for it.
What a fun cake! I think I’ll have to make this one
Betsee,
It is fun and it’s so easy why not give it a try. Thanks for the feedback.
Great I idea luv the colors didn’t even cross my mind to do a bunt cake … I just recently made a Dallas Cowboys rainbow cake it had white a little black & blue colors…thanks for the idea.
Noemi,
I’m so glad you like it, When I make it everyone is amazed at how pretty and easy it is. Enjoy!
How did you make the Dallas Cowboys Cake? I’d love to do that! Thanks.
Just use the team color and it will look great.
Happy Baking!
Sugar
I love this very simple and creative recipe! I am always on the hunt for a fun Halloween recipe since my son’s school has a potluck Halloween Party each year. I will take pictures -Thanks again!
Donna,
I’m so glad to hear it. I know if you make it everyone will go crazy over it. Enjoy and do send photos. Very fun!
DEAR ERIN,
I HAVE made other Bundt cakes.but I have never in my whole Life ever made a HALLOWEEN cake that it was so Beautiful, you just didn’t want to eat it.I might give that a try. sents HALLOWEEN is in 35 day & 4 weeks. that would be a great ideal to fix it
for HALLOWEEN. our church also has a HomeComming comming up some time next month. so I made wait and make it for that. thanks for that wonderful recipe. what a
wonderful ideal.
I’m so glad you like it Candace. Thanks for the feedback and be sure to let me know if you do make it.
Hugs,
Sugar
WOW! Those colors are amazing!
Erin,
I used wilton food coloring. It works great. Thanks for posting. If you make one send me a photo and I will add it to the blog.
This is awesome!! i am going to have to try it for my dad and stepmoms wedding anniversary. they got married on halloween. Cant wait to try it!!
Oh they are going to love it. Try to get the Wilton Icing Coloring because that will give you the vibrant color.
Enjoy
The Black wilton food coloring definitely gave the frosting a weird taste. I would recommend using chocolate frosting so you can use less black coloring.
Oh, and I did this with cupcakes instead of a bundt pan because I don’t have one, and they turned out really cool! If you didn’t know they were going to be multi colored, you’d be really surprised when you bit into one!
Jessie, Glad it turned out well.
I didn’t try the wilton black I used the McCormick so thanks for the tip.
Sugar
You have to look for the No-taste black in order to avoid the nasty taste. It is pretty easy to find these days.
Oh good tip Barb thanks.
I only use Wilton food coloring but am unable to obtain the deep purple or that particular color of orange you have in the video. I also have never been able to make a black icing and not that red is incorporated in this video but figured I would mention it because I am sure you make a great red too. What is your tip to get the colors since I buy the same food coloring as you do?
Jamie,
Make sure you use white cake so it doesn’t interfere with the color. I’m not sure why you can’t get the color. Those Wilton colors are so strong. I guess you need to use more color. Good luck.
Just made an iowa state cyclones version!! I noticed the icing colors darkened a ton after about 15 seconds in microwave. Couldn’t get red to look red enough until then.
Glad it worked out for you. The colors can be tricky at times. Depends on the brand.
I found after a few hours of setting up I got a super vibrant red using Wilton’s no taste red, made a great power rangers red ranger cake!
Just came across this. I will remember this for next halloween. I have grandkids that would love to do this recipe. Looks like fun and I love the colors and how it all turns out.
Lynette yes do try it. I am sure they will love it.
Sugar
I Made this cake and it turned out AMAZING!!!! It’s such a great idea! Thanks
