A tiny chocolate skull sitting inside a crystal ball is already my kind of Halloween decoration. Make the base cake, add purple frosting, and suddenly I have a much more interesting afternoon planned.
I’m the Chef Too! has Crystal Ball Cake Bites as its September 2026 baking kit. The project makes four crystal balls and pairs the spooky dessert with activities about reflections, mirror images and probability.
These crystal balls have chocolate skulls inside
The brand’s finished-project photos show little skulls surrounded by purple frosting and Halloween sprinkles, with a clear dome over each one. The cutaway view is the part that sold me on the idea: there is cake tucked inside that chocolate-looking base.
That makes this a fun possibility for a small Halloween baking afternoon. With four finished crystal balls, I would plan it as a family project or a small-group activity, rather than assume one kit covers an entire classroom party.
What comes in the kit?
According to I’m the Chef Too!, its baking subscriptions include pre-measured ingredients, specialty molds and supplies, activity cards and a cook-along video. The company designs the activities for ages 4–14.
You still need a few ingredients from home. The brand gives butter, eggs and water as examples, so check the instructions before promising the kids you can start the minute the box arrives. Younger bakers will also need an adult to help with the kitchen steps.
The science connection is a nice reason to slow down and talk about what you are making together. This kit focuses on reflections and probability; the dessert is the activity, not just a reward at the end.
Check the September kit before you order
The timing matters here: Crystal Ball Cake Bites is listed as the September kit. The brand’s upcoming schedule switches to Turkey Cookie Cake in October. If the crystal balls are the reason you are ordering, confirm the selected kit before checkout instead of waiting until October and assuming it will still be the monthly box.
The main offer is a recurring subscription, with several plan lengths and introductory prices. Check the total, renewal terms and selected month on the official ordering page. I would not treat the lowest advertised introductory price as the regular price of a single box.
I haven’t made this kit yet, so I can’t tell you how easy the domes are to assemble or how the finished cake tastes. What I can say is that the little skull-under-glass look is exactly the sort of spooky baking project I want to know about before Halloween sneaks up on me.
