The breakfast room cabinet is loaded with goodies, here are the close-ups:

On the left are a fake cake and a basket full of cupcakes. The cake is a stack of foam rounds covered in spackle and the cupcakes were made like this. The blackbird pie is salt dough, I have a full tutorial here.

In the center is my poisoned apple. You can read my tutorial here, and the printable is an image I printed myself after a Google search.

On the right are a couple more faux cakes, cupcakes and candied apples. The plain black cake is another foam one, but the orange and black is a Jello mold re-style. You can see a similar makeover here. I also have this caramel apple tutorial. Just swap out the brown paint for black and embellish with puffy paint to create your own candied apple treats. If you want to make the apples with faces, just use a pencil to lightly draw on your design and then hand paint around with a small brush and acrylic paint.

My cookie cutter collection dresser is covered too:

On the left is a tiered tray stacked with cookies and candies, a faux treat bucket and a jar of gummy candies. I recolored my thrifted tray like this before filling it with salt dough cookies, hot glue chocolates, and plaster candies. This popsicle post will walk you through the use of plaster.

The treat bucket is filled with foam and covered in Easter basket grass. I then took a variety of faux treats that I glued on to wooden dowels and then inserted the dowels into the foam.

The gummy candies are actually glass vase filler stones that I put into an old candle jar and decorated with a label made with my Cricut.

On the right of the cookie cutter storage dresser is a candy corned themed grouping. The jar of candy corns are faux ones that I found at a garage sale, I think they used to be floral picks. The cake is another stack of foam rounds covered in spackle (piped through an icing bag) and the cupcakes are more made with spray foam insulation (like the linked tutorial above). These candies are plaster painted in acrylic and detailed with puffy paint and the popsicles are made exactly like the ones in the popsicle tutorial. The candy corn trees are foam cones painted in acrylic and sprinkled in acrylic.

Hanging from one of the windows is a Halloween house cake pan that I painted to look like and iced cake. You can see that post here.

Over on the candy mold storage cabinet (see my collection here) is the last of my Halloween fake bakes:

On the left are a few more cupcakes and a set of fake drinks.

On the right is another treat bucket, cupcakes, a drink and a couple of cauldrons. The cauldrons are Dollar Tree pots that you can find in the spring near St. Patrick's day. These I filled with foam, piped on some spackle and then added in beads.

And there you have it, my Halloween fake bakes!
