Spider Cake

Every Halloween, my agency has a scary dessert contest. Last year I did a gingerbread man graveyard massacre. Inspired by this pumpkin patch bloodbath.

Well, I wanted to up the ante this year, so after some searching online I came up with doing a spider cake. Her legs are pirouettes glued together with frosting. Her body is a bundt cake and her head is carved from a couple eight inch round cakes. Eyes are marshmallows and mini chocolate chips. And the best part? There are guts! She was filled with whipped cream and raspberry coulis.



As you can see, she was gored by the hungry mob. I didn't win the baking contest, but I'm always satisfied when my creations are devoured.
