Hollie Fraser is safe through the first two weeks of Food Network's Halloween Baking Championship.

Fraser has created several gruesomely delicious desserts, including a cake in the shape of a Halloween candy bucket filled with guts, fingers, intestines and a severed hand.
Very fitting for the themed show, much to the daring delight of judges Stephanie Boswell, Zac Young, Carla Hall and host John Henson.
As well, Fraser also baked a clown cake that included circus snack food and a carousel cakes showing joyful and horror sides of the popular ride.
The prize at the end of the Halloween Baking Championship Fraser hopes to accomplish is a "main heat" prize of $25,000 and the unofficial title of creepiest cook.
Fraser, a Port Moody resident, is the only Canadian baker dared to enter the haunted kitchen. The other 12 contestants hail from various American states.
The competition is down to nine people after two eliminations and one withdrawal.
Fraser is also well-known on the Food Network after winning The Big Bake Halloween in 2019.
