Spectacular effects combine with the Halloween spirit as cake creatures rise from the dead to scare up a winner.

Duff Goldman officiates the monster of all wedding cake competitions as the bakers must create cakes fit for monstrous matrimony.

Frightening transformations and delightful flavors scare the judges into declaring a winner.

A swarm of creepy crawlies is on the menu as Duff Goldman challenges the bakers to create cakes that have become infested and decayed.

The final cakes are screamworthy with shocking transformations and delectable flavor combinations.
