Rush turned an 8-3 fourth quarter deficit into a 9-8 victory in its home opener.
Some families are turning to home-based Halloween celebrations as Saskatchewan deals with the fourth wave of the virus.
Thats according to Jared Bugyi, owner of Queen City Cakes. He said he’s been hearing a fair bit about it from his customers.
“I do find that when clients come here for Halloween, a lot of things are for when they’re doing at-home celebrations with the kids and stuff like that. I’ve found, the last couple of years with COVID, there are more families just doing Halloween celebrations together,” he said.
Because of that, he’s dedicated time to making elaborate Halloween-themed cakes.

He designed three special cakes, decorated to bring to mind characters from the horror movies It, Beetlejuice and A Nightmare on Elm Street.
The ideas were inspired by a place you might not expect.
“Ideas come from all sorts of things. I always get Instagram ads, and right now it was for a certain shoe company that was doing a take on different horror movies. I (thought) that was really clever because it looks cool, and it’s not gory or anything like that. So I’m like, ‘That’s totally up my alley,'” he said.
While Bugyi isn’t the biggest fan of Halloween personally, he’s got another reason to be in the spirit of the season.
Bugyi and his bakery competed on the Food Network Canada show The Big Bake: Halloween. The episode aired on Sept. 27.
The competition show had three teams vying to create the most terrifying, larger-than-life moving and glowing cakes.
” Our (cake), unfortunately, was very cute. We kind of missed the mark on the scary, gory side of it, but we had a lot of fun with it,” he said with a smile.
