Why We Like This Product (Reviewed by the YPC Team)
At our Halloween event at YPC, we trialled this skull mould with chocolate sponge cake and later with jelly – both turned out scarily brilliant! We especially loved how easy the cake released once cooled, holding all the bone-like detail. It really does look like a full-size skull. For extra flair, we dusted it with cocoa and icing sugar for a creepy finish.
We also used it as a giant ice skull in a punch bowl at the adults’ evening party – and honestly, it stole the show. If you want to create a jaw-dropping centrepiece without needing special cake skills, this mould gives you pro-level results with minimal effort.
Alternatives Worth Considering
Nordic Ware Haunted Skull Cakelet Pan – Smaller skulls but more per batch, better for sharing.
Wilton 3D Skull Pan – Metal version, bakes faster but less flexible for demoulding.
ALLY-MAGIC Skull Chocolate Mould – Ideal for bite-sized skull sweets and jelly.
Tips on How to Use Correctly
Place mould on a flat baking tray before filling to keep stability during baking.
Grease lightly with oil or spray for best results with cake mix.
Allow baked goods to cool fully before attempting to demould.
For frozen items, ensure complete freeze for crisp edges.
Clean with warm soapy water or pop in the dishwasher – no scrubbing needed.
Store flat or upright to keep shape between uses.
