Known for her impressive cake sculpting and modeling chocolate work, Karen Portaleo has wowed Food Network judges and fellow decorators alike since she began competing in Food Network Challenge competitions in 2010.

Karen’s work shines especially brightly in the spooky Halloween season, which is why we chose to feature her in the October 2013 issue of Cake Central Magazine!

Haven’t downloaded a copy? Not to worry! We’ve put together a Pinterest board filled with some of her most ghoulish creations from Food Network’s Halloween Wars and beyond! Check out our “Karen Portaleo Halloween Inspiration” board to have a look.
