When it comes to spooky things on Halloween, it is difficult to beat what is available when you use a human organ. Of course, you would never want to use an actual organ, but you can certainly replicate one to get in the festive spirit of October 31. That is what this cake is designed to do, and you will be surprised with how creepy it really looks when all is said and done.
Many different human organs can be used during Halloween, but the human brain is the one that is used most often. It may be due to Frankenstein and the fact that they replaced his brain in the book but regardless of why it is used, it is something that seems to be synonymous with the holiday. You can make this human brain cake and freak out your friends but don’t lose sight of how delicious it is.
The human brain is actually quite remarkable, and it is unlikely that scientists are ever going to fully understand what it is capable of doing or how it is capable of doing what it does. That being said, it is still a fun part of the Halloween holiday and one that you can enjoy as a delicious treat.
