Create instant Halloween impact with our Limited Edition Cake Shapes Hands

Dinkydoodle Cake Shapes are ready-to-decorate 2D and 3D shapes designed to sit beautifully on cakes — with a unique keyhole locking system + spike that helps secure your shape to the front or top of your cake.

Add spooky storytelling to your cakes with our Hands Cake Shapes, available in both skeleton and human styles. Each 3D printed hand features gently curved fingers in a loose holding pose — perfect for cradling a skull, pumpkin, or any Halloween accent. The slightly extended pointer finger adds a fun, eerie touch, as if the hand is pointing toward your chosen detail.

Use them as they are for a clean, dramatic look, or customise with paint, dusting colours, or airbrushing to create zombie hands, aged bone, or any creepy effect you like. Fast to use, high‑impact, and ideal for building unforgettable Halloween centrepieces.

Current shapes available:

• Skeleton hand + spike (stands at 5")
• Human hand + spike (stands at 4.5")

Why you’ll love them

• Ready to decorate:  You could cover these shapes with sugar paste, an edible image, or maybe hand painted with cocoa butter.
• No risk of damaging your cake - as the 3D printed designed are strong yet very light weight. 
• Budget-friendly: prices can fit well within a customer's budget and won't break the bank for hobby bakers.  
• Allows you to make money. Customers budgets don't allow for hours of your time to make handmade edible items. This solution brings wow factor with the least amount of effort. 
• Suitable for all skill levels - even the most novice cake decorator can produce a stunning cake with these easy-to-use Cake Shapes. 

How to use

1. Choose your Cake Shape option from the dropdown menu.
2. Decorate your shape (or leave it uncovered and simply add finishing touches).
3. Attach the spike using the keyhole locking device.
4. Secure to your cake:

• • Option A: insert the spike directly into the cake
  • Option B (recommended for extra peace of mind): slot the spike neatly into a white, open standard PME cake dowel (food-safe)

Materials & cake-safety note

These Cake Shapes are 3D printed using PLA and are designed to be used as external cake decorations - watch the full tutorials to see these in action. You can enrol for free using this link: Dinkydoodle Cake Academy: Cake Shapes

If you prefer an extra “peace of mind” option, you can pop the spike into a food-safe PME dowel first, then place the dowel into the cake — it’s a neat, secure way to display your topper while keeping things nice and tidy.
