Boo Delicious Cake

Bakers and suppliers are looking to ramp up the scare-factor with an array of haunting bakes for Halloween.

Pleesecakes, Country Choice and Konditor are among those to roll out a breath of fresh scare with undead biscuits, devilish doughnuts and cursed cakes.

Hummingbird Bakery, McVitie’s and Birds Bakery are among those to have already revealed their fright night treats for 2020.

Given the social distancing measures in place, many are gearing up for a socially distanced Halloween while still capitalising on the sales opportunity.

Here’s our pick of the latest Halloween bakery NPD:
