How to Make Bride of Frankenstein Cake

Made of your favorite cake and cleverly decorated, a smiling and happy Bride of Frankenstein cake will be the centerpiece of any Halloween party. The only bad thing about a Bride of Frankenstein cake is when you actually have to cut the adorable cake.

Things You'll Need

• 1 cake mix or your favorite recipe
• Loaf pan
• Cardboard or cakeboard
• Aluminum foil
• 2 cake decorating bags
• No. 3 cake decorating tip
• No. 8 cake decorating tip
• No. 12 cake decorating tip
• 2 No. 4B cake decorating tips
• Black licorice strings
• Black gumdrops
• 2 round wafer cookies
• Green frosting
• Black frosting
• White frosting
• Gray frosting

Instructions

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.

2. Frost about 5 to 6 inches of the cake top and sides with green icing and smooth the frosting with a spatula.

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.

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.

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.

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.
