Ewww! Gross! These are not usually the reactions I’m going for when I am making one of my novelty cake designs. But when it comes to my zombielicious Brain Cake, it’s music to my ears!
I’ve been baking for 18 years, and my YouTube show “How To Cake It” lets me unleash my passion for cake decorating and Halloween-themed everything in a whole new way. I’m working my way through my caking bucket list. All the cakes I’ve always wanted to make but never had the opportunity. If I can make someone say, “Is that a CAKE?!”, I know I’ve done my job :)
My Brain Cake episode was inspired by The Walking Dead premiere this week. Why should humans have all the fun? Zombies deserve a premiere celebration too! I whipped them up a blood-red velvet cake in the best Halloween treats fashion with ropes of brainy fondant and oozing with seedless raspberry jam. I hope that this super easy recipe will entice you to make your own Halloween desserts!
Carve your deep red velvet cake into a brain shape
Shower it in simple syrup. Gotta keep that brain fresh and moist!
Roll your fondant into ropes, and twizzle it into brain tissue. Yes, twizzle is the technical term
Cover your Brain Cake in raspberry jam. Get in all the nooks and crannies. Don’t be afraid to splatter
Invite your undead friends over for a feast
Bonus points if you eat your Brain Cake with your hands. Zombies aren’t so good with forks!

Share on FacebookThat is great idea I would do it but I'm too lazy for that … ( sorry for the bad English)
What an awesome idea for a cake! Loved the step by step process that Yolanda gave and the whole zombie bit. Im making this cake for our dessert for our Halloween meal, I fix one each year for my 3 boys. Im no Yolanda, but so far its looking cool. The most important thing is that my kids think its gross and cant wait to eat it.....also they think Im a pretty cool mom. :-) Thanks Yolanda, keep up the great work.
So realistic! But i think this brain is tasty :) Braaiiinsss....Braaaaiiiinsssss...!!
I don't understand what shape cake you used to get the brain shape? Can you elaborate?
about the art of coocking or the taste............. if it taste like it was hinted the a o kay
Cool! What kind of cake pans were used to get the shape of the rounded top of the brain?
It is best to stack a few layers of cake together, then carve the desired shape. A denser cake will be easier to handle, stack and carve. Will hold its shape better with the fondant on top. If your not sure use a recipe that says Red Velvet Wedding Cake.

It's like a stiff frosting that you can mold into decorative designs.
