Things You'll Need:
- Cake mix- plus whatever is listed on box to make the cake.
- 2 quart oven proof glass bowl
- 3 cup oven proof glass bowl
- Serving platter
- Chocolate frosting
- 8 pieces of Dark liquorice
- 2 Hot Tamales candies
-
Step 1
Follow the directions on the box for mixing the cake batter. Instead of using a pan you will use the bowls.
-
Step 2
Grease the glass bowls. Pour the batter into both bowls making sure they are even.
-
Step 3
Bake in a 350 degree oven. The small bowl will take approximately 30 minutes to cook.The large one will take 35-40 minutes. Insert a knife in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean it is done.
-
Step 4
Let cool for 10 minutes. Turn the small bowl upside down towards the front of the serving platter to remove cake from bowl. Turn the large bowl upside down right behind the first so the large cake sits right behind the first cake.
-
Step 5
Frost with chocolate frosting. Be sure that you use enough frosting between the two cakes so it looks like they are connected.
-
Step 6
Cut the ends off the liquorice. Poke into the sides of the larger part of the cake putting four in each side. These will be the legs. Cut the middle ones smaller than the front and back.
-
Step 7
Grab the Hot Tamale candies and push into the front of the small cake where the eyes would be.
-
Step 8
Use 2 pieces that were cut off in step 6. Cut at an angle and insert into cake where the fangs would be. Your spooky spider cake is complete.
