As I mentioned last week, my son loves to have Halloween-inspired birthday cakes. This year we made this spider cake, but since Halloween is right around the corner I thought I’d share another easy Halloween cake.
Easy Haunted House Cake
This cake kind of looks complicated but it was SO easy. I made a big sheet cake and I used a pre-cut haunted house gingerbread kit
Overall it was an easy cake. The most time was spent decorating the haunted house. Just looking at this makes me get excited for the fall season! Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorites! Next week I’ll be sharing some of our favorite home-made decorations and spooky food! Yum!

Thanks so much Sandra! I’m so glad you liked them. 🙂
How did you assemble the gingerbread house on the cake?
I assembled it before placing it on the cake.
I am doing this for a Halloween party in a few days. When you put the assembled house on the cake, did it sit on a piece of cardboard or did you just lay the house directly on the iced cake? Did the house sink into the cake a lot? I’m afraid the bottom inch of the house won’t show. Thanks in advance for any tips. My kids and I are very excited to put this all together!
I just set the haunted house right on the cake and didn’t have any problems. I did a sheet cake so it wouldn’t have sunk very far anyways, but I didn’t have any problem with it sinking into the cake.
