Anyone who has watched some Food Network in their day has likely seen some kind of competition in which a variety of amazing cake creations are made. Zoe’s Fancy Cakes is someone who would likely do well in competitions such as those.

For this Halloween season, the cake maker’s YouTube channel has been sharing some fitting tutorial videos. One of the videos shows you how to make a cake version of the Bride from Tim Burton‘s stop-motion feature Corpse Bride. Though I’m going to go ahead and assume most mortal beings such as you and I would not fare well in trying to pull the cake off, as it is a truly impressive piece of work.

Continue below to check out the video.

If interested, you can find a bunch of Zoe’s Fancy Cakes’ videos over at the YouTube channel. These include the other two Halloween videos from this year—a Five Nights at Freddy‘s cake and a Nightmare Before Christmas cake topper—as well as lots of past Halloween videos and many other types of cakes ranging from Star Wars characters, to Disney and Pixar characters, to Marvel and DC characters, and many others.

Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride cake. In this video I make a doll cake of the Corpse Bride from the Tim Burton movie ‘Corpse Bride’. I have made this video for Halloween 2016. I use fondant and laped modelling paste in this video. You can find links to products used below, as well as a basic sponge cake recipe to get you started :)

Chocolate ganache recipe –
– To make chocolate ganache you can simply melt chocolate with double cream in a glass bowl above a pan of boiling water ( I use the hob to heat the water, but be sure to turn this right down once the chocolate begins to melt so it doesn’t burn). I use the ratio of 3 to 1 chocolate to double cream
