Eastleigh, Hampshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/26/2011 -- Cakekraft have established themselves as one of the leading cake decorations suppliers online. Last week they launched their phantasmagorical range of spooky Halloween edible decorations. Since then these wonderful creations have been flying off the shelves, but it hasn't always been that way!

Up until recently, Halloween was something only celebrated in the US. In the UK we've been slow to take on this autumn tradition so why all of a sudden are we welcoming ghastly cupcakes, gooey confections, and trick or treat candies into our homes? The easy answer to that is because it's fun!

The time between summer and Christmas can be a little dull so what better way to liven up the season than with some fun baking and decorating? There are so many ideas when it comes to making Halloween cakes and baked goods, but you need to make sure you have the right edible decorations too! CakeKraft recognised a gap in the market and have ensured this year that they have a fantastic stock of decorations, icing, food colouring, cake cases and many other items that will make your celebrations go bump in the night.

CakeKraft are really excited about some new lines they have added to their edible decorations lines, including their Halloween Sugar Strands. These are just what the Dr Frankenstein ordered when it comes to giving your cakes the shake-up they need! These fantastic decorations come in some brilliant options including Dracula's Blood, Witches Brew and Evil Pumpkin. Simply shake onto your cupcakes, large celebration cakes, cake pops and ice cream for a really ghoulish effect!

When it comes to creating some fabulously fiendish cakes this Halloween, CakeKraft have you covered. Whether you need edible decorations, cupcake wrappers, cookie cutters, sprinkles, icing or colourings you'll find everything you need on their easy to use and informative website.

Eastleigh, Hampshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/26/2011 -- Here at CakeKraft we're always keeping our eye out for the latest baking news so that we can keep our range as on-trend and in demand as possible. Imagine our surprise when we came across this story in the headlines this week – 'Chicago Woman Pelts Husband with Cupcakes'.

Whilst we're totally against domestic violence of any kind, it was the crime of wasting cupcakes that shocked us the most!

Everybody loves cupcakes, but love certainly wasn't in the air (although a few cupcakes were) when this Chicago couple decided to have a heated argument this weekend. According to the Chicago Tribune, a local woman was arrested in Brighton Park for pelting her poor husband with cupcakes.

According to reports, she reached for the box of cupcakes and launched a sponge and cream fuelled attack at her husband's head and body.

Several of the sweet creations hit the target as the man's head and shirt were covered with frosting when police officers arrived on the scene.

At CakeKraft we know just how much time and effort goes into creating the perfect cupcake. From the perfect sponge base through to delectable frostings and pretty cupcake cases we understand the time and effort it takes to make magic happen which is why we can't understand how this angry lady came to fling her sweet treats across the room when she would have felt so much better eating them!

We've just launched some amazing new cupcake cases to tie in with Halloween and the Christmas season and we are proud to also introduce our cupcake wrappers featuring a wide range of elegant cut-out designs. You can choose from any number of decorations, cupcake cases, sprinkles, icings and colourings to really give your baked creations a professional touch. Just remember if you're about to have an argument with a loved one make sure your relationship doesn't come to a sticky end. Keep those cupcakes out of harm's way!

What’s the story behind spooky orange and ghastly green?

Eastleigh, Hampshire -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/20/2011 -- Orange, purple and green. These are the colours of Halloween, but what is their significance and why are costumes, accessories and cake decorations always decked out in these vibrant shades? Cake Kraft decided to do a little digging into the archives of Halloween traditions and colour schemes.

Cake Kraft recently added some new lines of food colouring to their range and this made them think about the origin of Halloween colours. It is customary to use orange and black in decorations and costumes with green and purple taking leading roles in the Halloween festivities too, but why?

Orange is the most popular autumn colour and with Halloween falling in the autumn and also being the colour of pumpkins, it seems fitting that this bold and bright colour should take centre stage. Orange is also the colour of bonfires that many people light around Halloween time to ward off evil spirits as a bit of light-hearted fun. It's becoming more and more popular in the UK to hold a Halloween party and this is when the traditional Halloween colours really come to life whether they are used as food colouring in baking or on costumes and Halloween decorations.

Halloween was once a festival of the dead, and still is in many areas of the world. Death is commonly associated with darkness, mourning and absence of light, all signified by the colour black. Witch's hats, black cats, and cauldrons also rock the black theme so very well.

Neon purple and green are thrown into the mix to add a little garish fun! Green is usually used to represent monster slime and witch's brew whilst purple seems to be taking the place of black as a brighter alternative that represents the fun of Halloween rather than the dark side of the holiday.

Cake Kraft has a huge selection of Halloween inspired food colouring ranges and edible decorations that will ensure any Halloween party is a total scream. From Wilton food colourings through to colour mists and edible pens, you can colour and create a huge range of spooky baked goods that will have your guests howling for more!
