[Video] Learn How to Make Your Own Terrifying Pennywise Cake
Are you eating IT… or is IT eating you?
Maybe the most incredible thing about Andy Muschietti’s IT is that the film managed to take an already iconic horror villain and make him even MORE iconic. Actor Bill Skarsgård’s iteration of Pennywise the killer clown is vastly different than Tim Curry’s, proving that it is possible to totally reinvent an existing character.
Fan art for the new IT has been flooding the internet in the wake of the film being released into theaters (and shattering box office records), but this latest bit of fan art is a whole lot different than the rest.
Why, you ask? Because it’s an actual, 100% edible Pennywise cake!
Made by Koalipops, this tasty and terrifying treat was meticulously 3D-carved out of a moist red velvet cake and then detailed with fondant and food coloring.
“I was going to serve this cake at a party. I made him scarier because I wanted to concentrate on all the attributes that I fear. So now I don’t even want to serve this cake. Now I gotta kill this stupid clown,” jokes artist JK Denim in the video, before massacring (and then eating) his creepy creation.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
