Ok, so it's definitely more cute than spooky, but I just can't help myself! I LOVE creating wonky little characters for Halloween. The type that are so cute, you find it hard to eat them - well, almost. I mean let's be serious, we're talking about cake here. To make this situation even sweeter, the inside of this little party waiting to happen is Baileys cookies and cream cake, because let's face it, I'm here for the boos! :) So I have to tell you guys that I've had this cake in my head for over a month. I kept seeing cute little cookie ...

Warm apple crumb cake filled with cinnamon and fresh nutmeg, topped with epic amounts of crumb - yeah, this was definitely worth turning on the oven!
