Decorate a cake with thin strips of licorice to create a spider web. Ice the cake using white icing. Cover the entire top of the cake with the web.

Tombstones

Bake a rectangular cake. Round out one end of the cake so it resembles a tombstone. Dye white icing gray by using a few drops of black food coloring. Cover the entire cake with the gray icing.

Vampires

Bake a round cake, about 9 inches in diameter. Decorate it to look like a vampire. Pipe on black icing for the hair and gum drops for the eyes. Use candy corn for the fangs; add white icing to the candy corn pieces to help them look more like fangs. Use a small amount of red icing to cover the tips of the fangs for a spooky effect.
