Tis the spooky and snacky season of the entire year!  We’ve got football couch snacks, fall flavored pumpkin snacks, cool-weather comfort snacks and the most fun of ALL~  the super spooky scary snacks!  There is no limit to our spookified snackage when it comes to Halloween.  We have bloody, gooey, brainy, slimy and creepy treats.  And now we have the prince of darkness in cake form..yep~  we have Grim Reaper Cake!

Dark black, with a ‘deadly’ sprinkle of hellfire in the form of Cayenne Pepper ever so subtle, but totally there to take you by surprise!  Then, the entire dark and doom filled cake is laced with veins of cinnamon, just to drive home that heat!  It’s truly one of a kind, and the perfect party starter for sure!  And believe it or not, VERY delicious!!  Moist, sweet and perfectly balanced flavors are undeniable inside this fun, and spooky halloween treat!  🙂
