This artisan cupcake shop has several Halloween-themed cupcakes available this season. Adding a spooky twist to some of their most popular flavors, classics like salted caramel and chocolate cupcakes are now topped with skeletons and spiders to put you in the holiday mood. The bakery can do customized orders for pickup or local delivery.

Using a combination of local and imported ingredients, this bakery offers a taste of France with their holiday variety of chocolate treats. Enjoy a smiling jack-o-lantern or a candy-filled cauldron, but beware -- not all of their treats are for the faint of heart. Try a chocolate rat, coffin, or skull if you are feeling brave. Available to order and in-store.
