There are four things that dominate my life: horror, basketball, pizza and cake. Just the mere thought of combining two of those things could make my head explode (if not my heart, first).
I just now learned of Cakeageddon, which is described as an “edible horror farm.” Yes, a farm of horror filled with delicious treats; it’s like treat-or-treating from the gods!
Unfortunately, I’m here in the States, so a trip to Standalone Farm in the UK is out of the question. Those UK readers who Hansel and Gretel the hell out of that shit, be sure to share your photos and stories from the event.
A perverse cake box of fairy tales including deformed Animal Farm characters, ‘Three (Slaughtered) Little Pigs, Red Riding Hood and her basket of intestines and the nemesis of Miss Muffet, a giant 7ft spider… all of course in 100% edible form. Cakeageddon is coming… Miss Cakehead presents a twisted fairy tale for your taste buds as the world’s first edible horror farm opens at Standalone Farm in Letchworth Garden City this Halloween.
The event combines live horror action with cake for the first ever time, creating an incredible terrifying edible experience the likes of which have never been seen before. The family farm attraction taken over by renowned creative and food art curator Miss Cakehead for a special event targeted strictly at older teenagers and adults which features some of the world’s most infamous cake makers.
Red Riding Hood chasing you through the woods and the remains of the three slaughtered little pigs strung up and dripping ‘blood’ (strawberry sauce) are just some of the CAKE treats in store for you when the mistress of macabre cake takes over Letchworth Garden City’s Standalone Farm every night from the 29th October to the 1st November. Cakeageddon – the World’s first edible horror farm – will be extreme gruesome cake at its most terrifying.
Scattered around the farm will be a series of large scale cake installations which brave visitors will be able to tuck into if there dare… There will be plenty of nasty surprises in store as they go on their cake-walk though the night… Even the children’s play barn on the farm is touched by Miss Cakehead’s twisted mind, taken over by a nightmarish edible creation of Animal Farm.
Not forgetting her macabre cake roots, Miss Cakehead’s extreme cake shop – Eat Your Heart Out – will be back for the fourth year. In fact this year there are two; one based at Standalone Farm itself (which can be visited without having to enter the farm) and another at The Hoxton Shoreditch.
