How to Use and Style It

To use your Skull Baking Pan, simply brush the cavities with butter or shortening, dust with flour or cocoa, and fill each mold no more than ¾ full with your favorite batter. For the included recipe, only fill the molds halfway to prevent overflow. Once baked, let the cakes cool before gently releasing them from the pan.

Decorating options are endless—drizzle them with chocolate ganache for a dramatic effect, dust with powdered sugar for a bone-chilling look, or pipe colorful frosting to transform them into playful Halloween characters. Pair your mini skull cakes with themed tableware or serve them on a black cake stand for an eye-catching spooky centerpiece.

Seasonal Tip

For Halloween, decorate your skull cakes with red raspberry sauce for a “bloody” effect or use glow-in-the-dark cupcake picks to make them stand out at nighttime parties. During Día de los Muertos, frost them in bright colors with floral designs to create edible sugar-skull-inspired treats. This versatile pan is not just for October—it’s a fun conversation starter for any gathering year-round.
