Step 1
Wrap a piece of cardboard or a cake board with aluminum foil. Bake the cake as directed on the box or recipe and put it on the covered board to cool.
-
Step 2
Frost about 5 to 6 inches of the cake top and sides with green icing and smooth the frosting with a spatula.
-
Step 3
Using a No. 12 tip, pipe two white eyeballs. Attach a No. 3 tip and pipe eyelids. With black frosting and the No 3 tip, outline the edges of the eyeballs and add other accents where desired. Pipe pupils on the center of the eyeballs.
-
Step 4
Cut the black licorce string into several one-inch pieces and attach them to the top of the eyeballs to create eyelashes. Outline the Bride of Frankenstein's ears with a No. 10 tip and black frosting.
-
Step 5
Put a black gumdrop on each side of the Bride of Frankenstein's neck to appear like screws. Attach a round wafer cookie to each cheek with a dab of icing. Create a mouth from a black licorice lace.
-
Step 6
Fill one decorating bag with gray icing and another with white icing and attach a No. 4B tip to each. Start at the very bottom of the unfrosted cake and continue up and over to cover the entire unfrosted section with curly gray and black hair.
