Naturally, we decided to take a sinister sampling and see what stood out!
Lil’ Boo Pumpkin Bowl Cake (Red Velvet Cookies ‘N’ Cream) – $16.00
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 8 lil boo red velvet cookies n cream cake 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/lil-boo-red-velvet-cookies-n-cream-cake-1-1200x900.jpg)
Lil’ Boo has become one of this year’s big stars, so it seems only fitting that he’d get his own dessert.
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 9 lil boo red velvet cookies n cream cake 2](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/lil-boo-red-velvet-cookies-n-cream-cake-2-1200x900.jpg)
With red velvet cake colliding with cookies and cream frosting, we were excited to try this. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite live up to the jack-o’-lantern’s cult following.
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 10 lil boo red velvet cookies n cream cake 3](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/lil-boo-red-velvet-cookies-n-cream-cake-3-1200x900.jpg)
The cake was a little dry and the frosting was overly sweet. Aside from the Lil’ Boo bowl, it isn’t really worth it.
Lil’ Boo Pumpkin Bowl Cake (Chocolate & Caramel) – $16.00
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 11 lil boo chocolate caramel cake 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/lil-boo-chocolate-caramel-cake-1-1200x900.jpg)
This proved to be a much better flavor combination. The chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream, and caramel come together very well.

Of the two, this was the superior cake.
Ghost S’mores Macaron – $5.00
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 13 ghost smores macaron 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/ghost-smores-macaron-1-1200x900.jpg)
This was a nice quality macaron, but didn’t hit many of the s’mores flavors. It tasted more like a vanilla marshmallow. We didn’t pick up on any chocolate at all or graham cracker flavors. It was nice for marshmallow, but it just fell flat with us.
Black Cat Chocolate Cookie Dough Ball – $4.50
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 14 black cat chocolate cookie dough ball 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/black-cat-chocolate-cookie-dough-ball-1-1200x900.jpg)
This was so cute and so delicious. It was the hands-down winner of all the treats we tried. The eyes were decorated Reese’s Pieces, while the inside was a gritty chocolate cookie dough that tasted almost like brownie batter. We absolutely loved it!
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 15 black cat chocolate cookie dough ball 2](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/black-cat-chocolate-cookie-dough-ball-2-1200x900.jpg)
We’d definitely get another cookie dough ball rather than another macaron. And considering the cookie dough balls are slightly less expensive, our wallets tend to agree with our taste buds.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake – $12.00
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 16 pumpkin cheesecake trifle cake 3](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/pumpkin-cheesecake-trifle-cake-3-1200x900.jpg)
This had a very overpowering, overwhelming fall flavor. Every kind of Halloween taste was present, but there was just too much.
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 17 pumpkin cheesecake trifle cake 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/pumpkin-cheesecake-trifle-cake-1-1200x900.jpg)
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 18 pumpkin cheesecake trifle cake 2](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/pumpkin-cheesecake-trifle-cake-2-1200x900.jpg)
The cake had very strong pumpkin flavor, the spiced cream cheese frosting was super strong, and the caramel was more like a salted caramel or butterscotch. This was super thick and rich.
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 19 pumpkin cheesecake trifle cake 4](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/pumpkin-cheesecake-trifle-cake-4-1200x900.jpg)
Still, it proved to be more intense and less enjoyable than the sum of its parts.
Rose Eye Dark Chocolate Pudding Cake – $12.00
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 20 rose eye dark chocolate pudding cake 6](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/rose-eye-dark-chocolate-pudding-cake-6-1200x900.jpg)
This was probably one of our favorites of the treats!
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 21 rose eye dark chocolate pudding cake 2](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/rose-eye-dark-chocolate-pudding-cake-2-1200x900.jpg)
The rose on the top was chocolate and the filling had a very strong chocolate pudding flavor, but the consistency was more like mousse.
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 22 rose eye dark chocolate pudding cake 5](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/rose-eye-dark-chocolate-pudding-cake-5-1200x900.jpg)
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 23 rose eye dark chocolate pudding cake 3](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/rose-eye-dark-chocolate-pudding-cake-3-1200x900.jpg)
The broken shards of glass on the side were crispy and sugary, almost like the top of a crème brûlée. The red velvet cake base was much better than the red velvet cake in the Lil’ Boo bowl.

This one’s a big winner in our book.
Knife Cake – $12.00
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 25 knife cake 2](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/knife-cake-2-1200x900.jpg)
It was cute, but disappointing. The exterior is a white chocolate shell with a plain cheesecake interior and a cherry topper.
![REVIEW: Lil' Boo Cakes, Cookie Dough Balls, Pumpkin Cheesecake Trifle Cake and More from the Halloween Horror Nights 31 Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida 26 knife cake 1](https://media.wdwnt.com/2022/09/knife-cake-1-1200x900.jpg)
The chocolate knife handle was a cute touch, but nothing about this impressed us.
