Non-notable cake that does not pass WP:GNG, references consist of recipes and trivial mentions. WP:BEFORE check yielded no sources that show WP:SIGCOV. All this article does is demonstrate that cakes can be decorated for different events, which is already covered in cake decorating. BaduFerreira (talk) 17:06, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Selective Merge to Halloween § Food. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 11:20, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Maybe there should be an article about Halloween decorations but there is simply no such specific thing as a "Halloween cake". There are cakes – and cookies and donuts and whatever else – that can be decorated with Halloween motifs or colors, but this is far too vague a concept for a coherent article.

Delete "Carrot cakes are sometimes prepared as Halloween cakes [...] sometimes a spice cake, as a chocolate cake,[8] as a pudding cake,[9] and as a cheesecake." That's five different cakes! Clearly there's no coherent topic to this article. -- D'n'B-t -- 19:32, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
