It’s the spookiest month of the year and even though Halloween is just around the corner, there’s another reason to celebrate! It’s Friday the 13th (cue scary music). Since it falls in October, we’re celebrating with all things creepy in Cape Town, here’s how to up your Friday the 13th game.

1 BOO-tiful cakes from The Velvet Cake Co.

Any celebration is an excuse for cake! Take advantage of The Velvet Cake Co.’s deal on their awesome Halloween themed ‘Boo!’ cakes. Order one online for a sweet R475 or buy per slice in store. The ‘Boo!’ cakes consists of six alternating black and orange layers of rich velvet buttermilk sponge, layered with their famous velvety cream cheese frosting, coated with buttercream and finished off with a black and orange trickle.
