Halloween shakes are taking over the Coast!

One fake spider at a time.

It seems Halloween on the Gold Coast keeps getting bigger and spookier each year. 

Not only are the costume options scarily life-like, but our favorite cafes are jumping on board and giving a whole new meaning to "spider shakes". 

Guilty Café being one of them.

Their Halloween Themed Milkshake made available on the menu just this week, is a orange, black and white chocolate explosion.

What's in it?

It's a chocolate milkshake with orange and black M&M's around the rim, chocolate spider webs, sprinkled with candy corn, lolly sticks and a sour strap. All topped off with a chocolate spooky cupcake.

So, how does it taste?

Definitely chocolately, but also sour and sweet. So you get a bit of everything.

The Guilty Cafe team say it took some time to get the look of it just right. 

"We trialled it with a bunch of orange, black and white candy and it wasn't looking great. So, our barista made the cupcakes with a scary face on it, and then it made a HUGE difference."

- Andres Campbell, Guilty Cafe Owner

It hit the menu just this week and is expected to be a popular item for the remainder of October.

And they're not the only ones. Other foodies have caught wind, introducing their own spooky drinks and desserts ahead of the Halloween weekend. 

Cowch, Pacific Fair

For dessert...

What is it?

IT: white chocolate, grand marnier, champagne syrup and strawberry with a side of helium, clowning and fear.
