Four layers. Two are red velvet. Two are chocolate fudge. Frosted with chocolate ganache and wrapped in marsallow fondant. Each skull is hand molded white chocolate and the blood is a mocha caramel gel drizzle.

So many chocolate skulls.

Assembling the base

Second layer

Third and fourth are one piecw since they're so small.

Blood...i got blood everywhere.

I did the whole spread. Two huge pots of chili with skinless chicken sausage skull shaped meatballs, skull cornbread with ghostpepper honey, veggie platter with prosciutto skull and a salad.

But let's be honest...we're all just here for the cake.

Selfie.

I don't know where you work, but, unless you're a hired and paid on-staff cake decorator, they're not paying you enough. Rad cake.
