Who Else Is Crazy About Halloween and Spooky Season?

My name is Christy Seguin, and I am absolutely obsessed with Halloween! I love everything about it, from the horror and scary side, to the more elegant, beautiful decor side. I go crazy with decorations, as much or more as Christmas! And I love to create costumes and cosplay as well.

One of my bucket list items got crossed off when I was chosen to compete on Food Network’s Halloween Wars as a cake artist, back when I owned Cakes ROCK!!!. I always loooooved creating Hallowedding cakes, scary cakes, and sculped cakes from cute to horrific. I once made an almost-life-sized zombie torso that even creeped ME out when I had it in my kitchen!

So let’s think of some cool, creative couples costumes, shall we? My husband and I love to do couples costumes for Halloween ourselves, so I sneaked a couple of our pics in here!

About Me:

My name is Christy Seguin. I created amazing cakes in Austin, Dripping Springs and the Texas Hill Country for over 10 years as the owner of Cakes ROCK!!!. But I recently retired from cakes and am now passionately working on my new venture–the most unique and charming event venue in Central Texas, Rose Haven Event Venue!

For Rose Haven Event Venue Information, please contact us HERE.


Before you choose a wedding venue, please consider a locally owned wedding venue! If you love Austin, Dripping Springs, San Antonio and The Texas Hill Country as much as we do, you will consider a locally owned wedding venue because these are small business owners who treasure our community. These small business owners live here (often AT their venue!), invest in our community, and care about their employees and their wedding couples. The experience you get when you choose a locally owned wedding venue is drastically different than the experience you get at a corporate owned or investor group wedding leasing company.
