Step by step homemade baking recipes
Today I’m showing you how to make a real bubbling cauldron cake. This witch’s brew cake appears to have special brew bubbling away above a fire. The delicious eight layer Halloween cake is coloured black, orange, green and purple on the inside . . . a crazy surprise when it’s sliced open.

I have wanted to make a cake roll for SO LONG and I’m so excited to finally get to show you how to do one!! An amazing opportunity presented itself from a friendship that has been growing online with Beth from CookingandCrafting! We met IRL in LA during our recent trip there and it was so fabulous to get to chat face to face. She happens to be friends with a fellow Canadian YouTuber, Tammy from Yoyomax12 and suggested that the three of our channels work on a Halloween collaboration together. I immediately jumped on the idea and started working on a Halloween cake roll.
For the collaboration video, Beth worked on a giant ghost cookie, and Tammy did a Spider cupcake. Make sure you check both of their videos out as they are great!
I’m going to get a little disgusting for a minute. So stop reading if you don’t want to be grossed out.
If you eat this, your poop will be green.
I warned you!
This cake is a play on a Red Velvet cake, but instead of red, we’re using the black dye for the cake! It’s perfect for a spooky Halloween cake . . . which is bound to impress your family, guests, or coworkers.
But remember, if you don’t want to be asked uncomfortable whispered questions in the hallway at work, “Um, Jenn? Was there something in that cake that… maybe…might have…um…?”.

In this part of the cake series, we use the Cricut Cake! **Curses** Now, as you may know, my Cricut Cake can be slightly temperamental, but, thanks to the beauty of video, it appears flawlessly executed! If you are currently “bargaining” with your Cricut Cake, YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT!! In this video, we are using Photofrost Icing Sheets which we airbrushed black to match the cake theme of bats and Halloween.
The beauty of using the Cricut with icing sheets is that they tend to travel through the Cricut smoother and is cut easier than a fondant/gum paste mixture. It is more like true paper. Using the icing sheets makes for less time spent rolling, setting up, tearing, re-rolling, re-setting….etc!
