Spider Cake

To make this cake you will need:chocolate cake mix, 2 cans of chocolate icing, black icing, and candy eyes.

Step 1

Bake the cake and prepare the dish

Bake cake in two 9" cake pans as directed on package. While baking, cut 8 (eight) 10-1/2" x 1-1/4" strips of decorating paper (we used black with polka dots ) for the spider legs. Fold the strips in half. Using double-sided tape, attach the ends to the cake stand. Fold the legs toward the center of the cake stand to give them height.

Step 2

First layer

Place the first cake layer on the cake stand flat side down.

Step 3

Make black icing

Add small amounts of black icing color to icing until desired color is achieved. Spread a layer of icing on top of the first cake layer.

Stage 4

Add the second layer

Place the second cake layer on top of the icing layer, flat side down.

Step 5

Frost the entire cake

Frost the entire cake with the dark chocolate frosting. Add candy eyes or you can use doll eyes from the craft store, just be sure to remove them before serving.
