There is an undeniable truth I’ve come to accept about myself: I make terrible Halloween costumes. I like to think I have great ideas (a hurricane, a resident of the Capitol from The Hunger Games) but the execution fails miserably (the former looked like a potato, the latter, a little trampy). But I’m excellent at Halloween-themed baking, so for a theme-day get together with friends, I’m pulling out these wicked skull pans from Williams-Sonoma. Dusted with black sanding sugar (thanks, Gourmet Warehouse!), the finished cake will make an excellently ghoulish centerpiece for the table.
Skull Cake Pans, $44.80, Vancouver and Calgary at Williams-Sonoma, williams-sonoma.com.
