Sometimes you're hungry for something different. Something with a bit of a bite to it. Perhaps dreadfully decadent truffles disguised as beetles? Or an elaborately decorated cake with sharp teeth that threatens to nip your fingers?

Nikk Alcaraz, known for the ultra-successful channel Practical Peculiarities, is here with a book packed full of peculiar desserts that will bring a distinctly macabre air to your next dinner party. Your guests will know that they've finally caught your eye when you bring out a plate of Apple Eye Pies that stare up from the plate. Or, gaze in wonder as you tempt the hands of fate with a Tarot Sun Cake that brings magic to mind.

Bewitchingly beautiful and dangerous to behold, these unique desserts will bring a dash of darkness and whimsy to your kitchen throughout the year. After all, ghosts aren't seasonal, and your next soiree will teem with excitement when you bring out any of these whimsical cakes, pies, cookies and more.

Dare to depart from ordinary cakes and conjure up some extraordinary bakes--they're to die for!
